The Mice-Generation Zero CD
I don't understand why everyband says they're a punk band. I think there's NOTHING wrong with not being punk. But this "punk" band from CD plays dirty sounding pop songs, that might sound like ramones if were on a 33 speed record played at 45 rpm. I hear a bit of Dinosaur Jr. in there someplace. This CD is from 98, and for all I know they most likely have something newer out by now, but this is what I got. The 14 songs are not in the order that they are on the listing, so I'm sure exactly which songs are which. They do cover a Cars song though (Let's Go), which is always fun. The late 70s, early 80s rockish thing works for them. There's a few songs that're sort of Jam-rocky, "funky" kind sounding and that's not really my thing, and I think they could have done better with out it, esp. when the sax solo comes in... There are some songs, that are for sure punk songs on here too. If I heard more from them, I hope it has more of a consistant sound too it, and if it was up to me, it would be more post-punk, pop songs.
