Title: Bubblegum Punk for the New Millennium
Product review: I'm from LI and as far as I can tell, these guys have yet to play their first gig anyplace. Yet, somehow they got a major label deal, instant airplay all over the country, and their songs included in motion picture soundtracks. I love the record biz! What you got here is cutesy teenybopper bubblegum "punk", complete with lead vocals by a high pitched Nicky Gilder sound-alike (anyone remember "Hot Child In The City"?). This is slickly produced nonsense, loaded with way-too-obvious hooks, and hyperactive performances. You can almost see the A&R guys drooling over all the money their gonna make off the 17 and under set. There's even a "clean" version so as not to offend the kiddies' parents and WalMart. Bah Humbug! On the other hand, if you have fond memories of Ohio Express and the 1910 Fruitgum Co. you'll enjoy this too. Oh well, at least it's not more N'Sync.
