Genre: New Wave Power Pop

Highlights:
Everybody’s Gonna Be Happy
Scraggling in through the pub door, looking for a shot to play their little tunes comes The Agents. Their calling card? A sound straight out of 1979. Tight knit pop rockers with a smattering of tropes (New Wave Reggae on track Two? You bet!)
Hey, what about some post-punk noise rock? You know, with tons of unnecessary feedback that was already explored to death in the 60s? “Oh, here’s “Killing the Pig” for you, sir.”
But, I like my Power Pop with a psychedelic bent! “Here’s “Julie” for you, ma’am. And, for those Paisley Jangle people? Here’s “People Like You”.
This album is all over the fucking place.
I really appreciate the kazoos on the title track. It’s the best thing on here.
This isn’t bad enough to be glad no one heard of them but also not good enough to put them on a mixtape to convince a non believer.
