ah, a history lesson! TOM LOMACCIO used to be in PLUNGER. they were a good band, check them out. then, one day, he recorded a few songs with just an acoustic guitar, and the HEARTATTACK reading youth ate it up like candy. ten years after the original release, this little gem has now been re-released on vinyl. dig out some of your old records. STILL LIFE or something. yeah sure, they sound a little weak and outdated in 2007, but there is one thing that sets them all apart from today's überslick "post hardcore": honesty. this might not be the best record in the world, but I prefer this any time over shit in a bag like bright eyes and the millions of clones that followed.
