The Wax Museums = catchy punk who puts out records on hot labels, 13 songs in a little over 20 minutes. Simple, to the point, and like a million other bands out there...yet still awesome. What is it that has coming back time and time again to these types of punk bands that keep reinventing the same wheel? It's the hooks. I can hear 50 variations on a catchy song and love every one of them...must be the wiring in my brain. These Texans have the simplicity of the Ramones, the lyrical goofiness of Mean Jeans, and maybe just a hint of Devo's herky-jerky tempos here and there.
