    Wow, that's quite an endorsement. The orange translucent vinyl looks awesome. I'm listening on Bandcamp now. Thanks for the tip!

    Excellent review Brian. Your description of the entire album was spot on and your enthusiasm made me go check it out on their band camp page. Needless to say I ordered it immediately on LP. Thanks for the recommendation and have a great weekend. John :)

    Brian this was a great review of the new album.
    You did so well I streamed it on UA-cam. Not for me 😅 but you opened that door and I walked thru it. Well 👍 done 🍻

    Hi Brian, well once again this took me twice as long to watch as I was pausing and listening to recommended tracks and from what I heard, I liked a lot. I appreciate your in depth and honest review of the album. From what I heard of the album, I did hear punk elements in the music, a Joan Jett meets The Donnas meets Jimmy Eat World. Awesome job and I will be listening to the entire album! Hope all is well and sorry for the radio silence as of late. Best, Steve

    I checked them out and they got the official audio rip available now on UA-cam. Yup, very power-pop slash pop-punk. I doubt I'm going to get a comp copy of it, but I've barely begun chomping through filming my backlog of hot new arrivals as it is. And shrinkwrap and hype stickers are life! Hahaha

    A great band name, I'll mention it to my partner who's called Karen and has a friend called Sharon. I think I saw someone else talking about this record the other day (or maybe it was yourself on a vinyl update?). I never buy records from Bandcamp which makes me feel a bit uncharitable and stuck-in-the-mud, but I just view it as a slippery slope given my relative lack of shelf space. Sounds like an interesting record though so will try and stream it!

      Shipping from Bandcamp to Canada are very expensive, which is a bummer, because there is always interesting records. In fact, shipping to Canada (and within Canada) is crazy, so I only ever order from Amazon with free shipping. Otherwise, I end up paying double the price of the record or more for shipping 😡

      Mazzy also showed this, and so did Wyoming Dave and Elliott Crews. Word is getting around, it seems.

    Listening to you describe the music, I paused the video to check out the music. Considering just the music, it totally reminds me recent Shonen Knife (which I’ve been listening to a lot recently). It has a little more full sound, but before the vocals come in, I can easily imagine Naoko Yamano’s voice coming in.
    The vocals are good though. Yeah, it’s a solid album!

    • @EmbryonicRobot

    I really like the jacket and vinyl. Orange is one of my favorite colors. After hearing your review, I was curious about the music. I'm going to go to the site and check it out. You could have a second career as a music critic.

    Hi Brian, something's going on here. 🤔 First I see Elliot Crews review the album, then Richie and now you. So I had to go and listen to it. Yeah it's pretty good U.S. pop punk. Fork in the Toaster is my favourite track. Cheers Mike
