Artist description
This band is a principled reduction of rock music to its most essential form: short, fast, sub-moronic songs with lots of call-and-response, played by grown men pretending to still be teenagers. Drums careen gleefully like a pinball in the great bumpers of rock clichés as the bass and synth lines intertwine like the double helix of something that really should never have been the least bit genetically viable. Somewhere in there, a guitar struggles to keep up. Then there is the yelling and such. |

Artist History
We were all born somewhere between 1970 and 1974, and started playing music because it gave us an excuse to hang out together without necessarily drinking. |

Press Reviews
"Silly poppy fun rock that sounds like it was made by former kids who enjoyed playing all the rainy day inside games at camp and school. Fun and funny." - Roctober magazine"'Mom Cooks Inside, Dad Cooks Outside', "I Wanna Be An Autistic", and "Let's Hear Some Chatter Out There" barely scratch the twisted wackiness these guys achieve on this insane CD." - Maximum Rock-n-Roll "It's like The Modern Lovers, but with four Jonathan instead of one. Neat." -Peter Bagge |
