If someone told me this record was released 10 or 15 years ago I'd have no problem whatsoever believing them. This is total mid 90s style pop punk that bears more than a passing resemblance to Smoking Popes. Which I am completely and utterly in favour of by the way.Seeing as it seems to be the in-thing to play music that sounds like it was released by Lookout in 1993, it would be criminal if these guys didn't get the attention they deserve. Far be it from me to be the arbiter of taste these days though - I am more than happy drinking in posh bars and listening to M83 records rather than spending my hard earned dough on Maximum Rock And Roll and whatever record's flavour of the month with the 'kids' this week.
Their record is available for download free of charge from their label's website - and if you like it you are urged to give a bit of a donation or maybe buy the vinyl. Or give them a bit of praise on a two bit blog. I am a cheap bastard so I have done none of the above.
