A double play from the early part of the Spongetones wondrous career. I remember hearing their first album, Beat Music at a mall record shop called the Brass Ear in Hays, Kansas and realizing immediately that I needed it. (The clerk at the Brass Ear did that to me a couple of times. "I'll bet I can sell that dorky kid this Spongetones record.") They've continued to make fine records for over 20 years that swing gently to and fro around an axis that reads "outright Beatle imitation," and have done so with such obvious affection and skill that it is impossible to dismiss their artistry.

Beatle imitator it is. But it truly rocks.
God Bless Gary and Becky Schaffer of G&B Records aka the Brass Ear.
