DOLLAR SIGNS • Yikes! • LP

Pure Noise Records

Originally only available upon its release in 2015 on CD, cassette, and digital platforms. A light-hearted mix of folk-punk, ska, and straight-up pop punk that is scrappy, frantic, genuinely funny and mercifully free of tired clichés of a ska-punk variety. And mostly it’s just straight forward punk, with an indie pop sensibility. Close in spirit to Bright Eyes (for the folk); Jeff Rosenstock (for the ska); Pup (for the pop punk). I’m stocking this product precisely because I didn’t expect to like it.  And because I do. Any band who write a song about wearing a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt to a grandparent’s birthday gathering is cool with me.
