My personal favorite indie pop cassette ever. Purchased in Portland, Oregon in 1990. Perfect in every way. Imagine if a bunch of kids wrote great songs that were in the lyrical vein of Jonathan Richman but had never actually heard of Jonathan Richman. Later releases by the band would be more indie rockish, but this first release will always be my favorite. Hook oriented guitar pop, totally punk in it's simplicity. I don't think this left my cassette deck for the first 6 months I owned the tape. If you think I've overhyped it, you're wrong and I'm not. Lead singer/guitarist Bryan later went on to form Pep Squad and The Denominators.

Hi Bryan!! It's cousin Lloyd. Miss you man. Someone mentioned Evil Twin Brother and I said "hey that's my cousin Bryan's old band"... So I googled it and saw this. I just downloaded and they are on my iPhone.
