Rating: 8 Rickey Henderson third-person references out of 10
God knows the Bay Area loves themselves some glam-pop-punk, and good god do the Bare Wires fit this description in spades. I shit you not, the title track would be right at home on a Gary Glitter record. Don't read this as I'm suggesting this band is into kid touching; rather, they're into sounding like seventies glam stadium rock. And then you have the b-side "Ready To Go!", one of the catchiest songs I've heard in ages, sounding like Billy Joel joined Cheap Trick to make the catchiest song ever in order to save the world. That may or may not have been a film made in 1978.
