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
A new track from Pretty Matty finds the band in top form, delivering clean yet crunchy hook-laden power pop with trademark high energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2020
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
Like stumbling into an alternate universe with quality Brinsley Schwarz material from their pub-rock heyday which you hadn't heard (all written by Nick Lowe) but sadly with no keyboards.
For youngsters that means I fully expect to still be enjoying this catchy material forty years on, gods willing. Shaggy Maggot
