Ahem - Just Wanna Be - Tape (2016)

Labels: Forged Artifacts
Review by: Andy Malcolm

Lively little collection of tunes here, all swathed in layers of fuzz and fun. There’s not a huge amount you can write about such a thing, as it’s all rather straightforward. The five songs focus on catchy pop, sometimes just peeping out beneath the buzz, and mostly with up front vocals leading the way. “Umbrella” kind of reminds me of that song Cherry Bomb that was in Scott Pilgrim. “Brighter Ones” does drop the pace a little bit, maybe injects a bit more Weezer into the proceedings. Plenty of woah oh ohs. Think it’s the pick of the bunch for me. “Honeybee” gets even poppier and is the furthest removed from their general sound.

Pretty sweet garagey pop punk all told.
