Release Notes:
--------
JANGLE ALERT!!! WOW!! Chock full of ringing, jangly, sometimes twangly, 6 and
12-string guitars, the third effort from Mike Penner and his mates, who hail
from the heartland of America, is a brilliant garage jangle-pop gem! "What the
heck is in the water in Kansas? Whatever it is, you could bottle and sell it to
aspiring jangle poppers everywhere! If you're a fan of The Flamin' Groovies,
Plimsouls, early Gin Blossoms, The Belltowers, The Smithereens, The Searchers,
The Byrds, and other janglers of their ilk, then you're gonna DIG the 'Wagen -
BIG TIME! Guitars, guitars, and more guitars are the order of the day - and
that's only the half of it. The songs, full of great melodies, song structure
that features some very groovy twists and turns, are just as catchy and
hookladen as the best of the bands they remind me of. Every one is good, every
one is memorable, and flow with a life of their own. The band adds inflections
of harmony from their jangle roots to meatier rock `n' roll sounds of the
latter-day Flamin' Groovies. Swirl that with a healthy dollop of 12-string
guitars, some awesome riffs, a little bit of folk-rock influences, and a jigger
of sugary pop and you have their most diverse album to date. In fact, the record
sounds like it could have very easily have been recorded at Rockfield Studios in
the UK! They successfully manage to take a very limited sub-genre - jangly
garage pop - and turn it into a varied tapestry of similarly styled, but
constantly fresh sounds. The end result being garage pop of the highest order!"
