If you can stop playing the opening track by The Pengwins long enough to listen to the rest of this LP, you'll be rewarded by a gusher of powerpop perfection. Who'd have guessed Texas had a wellspring of powerpop? Grab this and Vol 2 :Wisconsin for a sweet treat. And cross yer fingers that the Cheap Rewards label rises from the dead and continues this series! Robbiecube
Yeah, I live in Walkerstan, mebbe I'm prejudiced. But there isn't a naff tune on this album (or Vol 1, Texas, for that matter) The Shivvers track is the highlight (check out their album on Sing Sing Records), but this LP is chock full o' poptastic tunes! Robbiecube
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.
