Release Notes:
--------
Yeah, I know the question. What the hell is a Gronk? Well the short answer is
this band named after an obscure comic book villain. The long answer is there is
a bunch of other references to the word "Gronk" across the wiki-verse. But for
our purposes, it's an Aussie band that clings to the geeky, quirky and melodic.
Opening with "Dirt" that resemble a Devo meets Ween guitar antics and a simple
beat. There are bits of Pink Floyd and Midnight Oil you'll hear on "Tribeca" and
it's pretty catchy too. The album's songs all have the harmonies and hooks that
power pop fans will cling too. "Touch the Sun" is a cleaner Guided By
Voices-like track that hums along in an 80's like fashion. And "Pot O Gold" has
a shimmering dreamy quality that evokes great 60's psyche pop like The Move and
The Nazz. My favorite song here is "Robot" which references The Ramones, GBV and
has a solid hook full of great effects. The very XTC like "Suicide and Fine
Wine" is a welcome surprise here. In addition, a sweet Beatlesque "la-la" chorus
finds it's way on "Birds Buzzin." Another band to use for comparison here is The
Lucky Bishops with less guitar fuzziness and more "Gronkiness." Most songs here
shine (other than the snoozer "Language") and worthy of your ipod playlist. Get
it and may the Gronk be with you. - Powerpopaholic
