“New Wave” bands have been popping up all over the musical landscape over the last couple of years to go along with the ironic 80’s fashion and predisposition to cocaine that all of the hipster kids are into right now. Sadly, most of these bands suck - except the Epoxies. Their keyboard laden, female fronted punk attack manages to sound both familiar and fresh at the same time. more than anything, these are just some damn catchy songs, and no manner of gimmicks can either make up for or cover up that fact; after only a couple of listens, you’ll most likely be singing along. This album is short, sweet, and to the point – short bursts of quirky songs that never get a chance to become redundant. Also, word on the street is that they put on a damn good live show – I know I’ll be there next time they come to town.
