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

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century. Shaggy Maggot

Power pop is a pretty formulaic genre -- a glorious formula, but still, predictable enough that lots and lots of bands can pull off a "perfect" blend of melody, harmony, jangle and crunch a time or two in the course of their careers. But I can't name another record that hits the magic spot EVERY SINGLE TRACK. This is so f$%#ing good. Craig O'Neill
