Album Notes & Community Reviews

A vibrant slab of melodic punk rock, this second album perfectly balances high-octane distortion with irresistible power pop hooks. 'Alternative Chartbusters' eschews the overt political posturing of their peers in favor of playful, energetic anthems that defined the brighter side of 1977-wave punk.
