And that&#8217;s exactly what the band&#8217;s debut album &#8216;Bill, You&#8217;re Only Human&#8217; delivered on its release in June 2016, but it also gave listeners so much more. The album is a perfectly pitched fusion of modern garage and retro fuzz punk, big on melody and infused with infectious energy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Portland to Vermont<\/em>, the second single to be released from CLIFFFS debut LP, is a riproaring journey into the band&#8217;s sound. The song delivers everything a modern classic could, in less than two highly charged and\u00a0intoxicating minutes.
