2 Razorcake Reviews!

Esteemed Razorcolumnist Brian Static claims to be the authoritative voice on our record, and I wouldn't argue.

Meanwhile, Chris Mason shares the popular opinion that if we could go back in time 17 years, we'd be popular. I'm paraphrasing, it's a fine review.

Lessons LP Review at Uncle Critic

Uncle Critic recommends you buy our LP, lest you be left "wondering what everyone else is talking about when they’re discussing the great albums of the year."

Aw, shucks.

DEEP RECORD REVIEW

Here's another kind review of the "Lessons" LP from Jerseybeat.com.

The reviewer has some qualms about some of the gendered power dynamics of our lyrics dealing with relationships.

For the record, the lyric “I need a tube or two of super glue / so I can glue her to me today” is 98% about rhyming “shooby-doo“ with “to be true“, “tube or two”, “superglue” and “glue her to”. It’s not meant to convey the idea that the woman should be attached to the man because of any sense of possession or anything. More like, “I’m really happy when this girl is around--I want us to be around each other as much as possible”. Hopeless romantic stuff.

Hope that settles that.

9 bands a guy named Brian recommends

Even though we did not play Chaos in Tejas, we were still listed on somebody's "Post-Chaos Hardcore Roundup". They did have some nice things to say: "Sure, that pop punk polish is certainly there, but for me the real guts of this band’s music lie in a combination of Bad Religion’s socio-political commentary and the humor of the Dead Milkmen. Ultimately all these elements come together to create fast, fun, satirical punk music with plenty to offer the cynics and optimists alike." Thanks, buddy!
