Power trio [The Rules](http://therules.bandzoogle.com/) are battle-scarred veterans of the local punk scene who still go hard… but in the friendliest possible way.

Blending punk energy and aggression with sweet, earworm-ready melodies, their debut EP is eight minutes of pure fun.

We hung out at a donut shop to talk about the record, about their take on the current, Albert-less punk scene, on whether they’re even a punk band at all, the hilarious story behind their band name, and much more!
