Genre: Jangle Pop
4 out of 5 (based on half the record)

Run
Normally, if we only have 1/2 an album’s worth of material I will pass on it as it’s not a fair representation of the record. But, when I saw the description as “Power Pop” you know imma jump on that shit.
This is a pristine example of Jangle Power Pop of the 80s and, to be honest, I don’t know why I’ve never heard of them. There’s a line you can draw from The Nerves through the Windbreakers and not miss a beat. Given what’s going on in the Paisley Revival of the 80s I’m certain that this could have moved a couple units on College Radio. But, they are in history’s dustbin.
What we heard here is excellent. Wish I had the whole record.
