Band Name - Insert Hear - CD (2010)

Labels: Soft City Records
Review by: Chaz Hewitt

PEOPLE OF CZINE NOTE: This review is heavily biased. Since getting this tape I’ve been chatting to these guys a bunch and looks like I’m going to be putting out a tape with them. But, hey, that’s a pretty good review in itself!



Regardless I figured a few people on the C might be into this.



Ignore the errrmmmm… band name and this is poppy, garage punk gold.



Six tracks of rocking lo-fi garage pop fun. Not in the hipster way either, just short and simple punk songs with fun and catchy vocals. Their influences on myspace are “˜Sonic Youth vs. Elvis Costello’ which is pretty accurate I think.



There are a couple of stand out tracks for me on here. “˜Think About It’ has a brilliant guitar melody that runs throughout the song, and some fantastic lazy vocals. “˜Wonder Why’ is just a great pop song, and has been stuck in my head for days at a time! Not all the songs quite reach the heights of these two, but overall this is a great little release. Awesome artwork as well; homage to the bands love of comic books!
