Grungy indie pop in the spirit of Superchunk et al, (I hesitate to indict Warner era Husker, Dinosaur, Volcano Suns). Melodic male loud vocal lines, hooky choruses, with answering harmonies/backups, loud marshall stack les paul guitars played w/open chords often. All the right ingredients for the cookbook recipe. Yawn. All songs are mid to uptempo (track 6 has a tamer pop beat). All very similar in spirit and construction (verse, hook-chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, chorus). No point in going track by track. Choose any or try 5,6, 10. Track 10 is really two songs, bridged by sped up tape/recording trick and then found sound sample.
