5.0 out of 5 stars Powerpop to the people!, January 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pure Pop for Punk People (Audio CD)

This is a perfect poppy-punk record. It's one of the finest girl fronted punk groups I've heard lately and it's right up there with the Muffs, the Fasbacks, and Buck. Danny Epstein of Rolling Stone put it in his top ten albums of 2001 list and said "Catchy tunes, killer riffs, cute girl singer; what's not to love?" I couldn't agree more.

This is one of those records that you won't tell your toughguy punk rock friends you listen to but secretly you'll be rocking this in your car when no one is around. Severly catchy "pop-punk" or is that "punk-pop"? Sugar-y lyrics that sound like a teenager wrote them but these guys are kinda old (as in around 30ish, god forbid) but know how to write pop-punk gems. This isnt the kind of lame pop-punk that bands like Blink, NFG, Good Charlotte, etc play....this is great pop influenced punk that record labels like Lookout used to put out. Every song is a hit and it's a shame they have since broken up.

I like this cd. They're no Led Zeppelin or other significant type of group...but they do know how to write and play fun songs. 25 years ago, they would have been competition for the Go-Go-s or Bangles. Today there is no market for this.

The singer has a sassy, bubbly attitude that comes out through the vocals. This is not current fluff b/c the lyrics pay hommage to bands from yesteryear. She looks pretty cute on the line notes as well!

The best song is track 1. There is not a bad song on the cd. Not a great work, put good. Compared to today's market where there is a hit single and then a bunch of filler... this is heads and tales above the rest
