yeah it's definitely kind of an odd exercise (especially given that they're just doing the hits, not salvaging any deep cuts), but it's still a really enjoyable record.

I keep revisiting this band and being pleasantly surprised. I think it's one of the few things I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I like.

ooh, I'll have to pick it up. I like this group though when I first heard them I thought they were going to be some kind of neat take on that Freezepop/Peaches electroclash sound, classed up a bit and with a singer who can actually sing, I'm kind of disappointed that they turned out doing more of a 60's noir revival thing. I relistened to the first album, "I am Camera" still sounds awesome to me, though the album takes a massive dive right after. Would've been an amazing 7-song EP!

Listening to "Will You Dance?" To me this is boring adult contempo, but I do feel I'd enjoy hearing this band play some Hall and Oates.

They just released an album of Van Halen covers and it's great!

But what does some dude think? Was the 9 years worth the wait?
(I like it, especially “Unchained”)

Love the 'Panama' cover

looks maybe pretty good, although after the ode to David Lee Roth on the last album I think I'd be more interested in them doing a Van Halen tribute

Some dude asked, they listened.

can someone please rate this on a scale of "doesn't sound anything like Pomplamoose" to "sounds like a lot like Pomplamoose"
― frogbs, Thursday, 8 August 2019 16:46 (four years ago) link
This is infinitely better than Pomplamoose.

ok I'm listening now and I'm impressed by how not-gimmicky it sounds
except for the songs that sound gimmicky no matter who does them like "Hot For Teacher"
Inara George's voice is really something

like I don't think using her in place of DLR (who always sung "like a girl" anyway) is too big a deal, but doing these songs without guitar is pretty interesting

Van Halen cover album still really good, idk if it says more about the Bird and the Bee or how immortal Van Halen's songs are. I just can't believe it actually works
