What would Black Flag sound like recording a garage rock album? The Energy, a punk rock band from Houston, answers this question on "I Can't Stand Up." The group released its debut, Get Split, via Team Science Records a few months back, and this one is a great sample – a grungy punk track featuring a loose, impassioned performance and wide-eyed yelping vocals that balance between angry aggression and thoughtful intelligence. You know that's hard to do.
