Another example of the production genius of Rob Younger and Alan Thorne. When we think of punk rock records, we usually tend to think of anything other than guitars, bass and drums being a distraction, sounds that dilute the forcefulness that we want/need. This record has a lot of odds and ends thrown into the mix: piano, organ, acoustic guitars, but these foreign elements seem to actually drive the song harder, while simultaneously making it more vivid. The result is the Australian vision of the Ramones making a record with Phil Spector. Of course, the production would be for naught if the song weren't so good. Therefore, we should mention that it was written by former Lemonheads bassist Nic Dalton and Robyn St. Claire of the Hummingbirds (more about them later). They were also together in Love Positions and Godstar; you can read more about them at Dalton's web site, which has more annoying pop-up windows that any other site I've seen.
