Mean Jeans & Big Eyes - Split 7'' (Dirtnap, 2013)

Mean Jeans & Big Eyes
Split 7''
Dirtnap
2013

Rating: 7.5 out of 10 for Mean Jeans, 6 out of 10 for Big Eyes

This split features two songs by each band.  The front half is Mean Jeans, one of the best Ramones-ish pop-punk bands working.  First track "I Miss Outerspace" is classic Mean Jeans, very enjoyable.  then they cover a Big Eyes song "Since you Left," and definitely make it their own.  The flip is Big Eyes, a band I didn't know shit about.  They have more of a glam pop sound with female vocals, and pull the flip formula from the Jeans - one of their own and then a Mean Jeans cover.  Not as into their half of the record, but it ain't bad.  The Mean Jeans side is aces though.
