    I went to see Redd Kross once in a bad mood... which lasted about 14 seconds into their show and then by song 3 my face hurt from smiling. This is a true story. I love them so...

      Jennifer Mantura awesome, I seen them in the mid nineties in a pub in Hamilton Ontario Canada, and met them and partied with them, they we're so Fuckin nice , they talked and we're very engaging, to me they just may be the most underrated and under appreciated band of all time

      Also a killer vid to boot. Instant classic. I heard they had to shop this album around for a year before Merge scooped it.

    I've literally watched thousands of videos as an avid fan of rock music, and year after year, this is my favorite, endearing, addictive, captivating in every way. Redd Kross can't be stopped, carry on.

    This is literally the perfect song. There is nothing that could be improved by covering it. They went the full SHA LA LA. This is power pop bliss.

    @lennonstarkey4150 7 років тому +7

    So glad the best Power Pop outfit since cheap trick is back
    This is one of their finest moments ever
    Everything is 100% perfect
    The guitar sound The songwriting and cherry on top the Black Metal/Kiss make up
    So looking forward seeing them with the Melvins in two weeks

    great track -- classic post 1990 Redd Kross -- great rock hook -- great harmonies -- this is a real single not a poor imitation of themselves like most bands do after 30 years in the business -- do these guys run out of ideas and why is each stage of their evolution so cool -- what the hell???

    I was somewhat unfamiliar with Redd Kross before this came out in '12. Then I became an instant fan and finally got to see them live a couple of nights ago. If there's a better contender to date for Best Song of the 21st Century, damned if I know what it is.
