I got Power Chords by Mike Krol on CD a few months ago, but I put off listening to it until very recently. I have NO IDEA why I did that because this is such a good album!
I'm a really big fan of his debut EP(I acutally just learned it was an EP and not an album lol), I Hate Jazz. The problem I had with it though is that it was super short! It contains only eight songs, and each song is usually less than 2:30(Ooh, how very punk). Power Chords scratched my itch and gives you a bigger, better, and longer glimpse inside Mike Krol's highschool-love and garage band infested mind.
A lot of music that deals with nostalgia tend to be sad and at worst sappy. Power Chords bends this trend and and instead throws you directly into your mother's car going 90mph that your friend since grade-school is driving. The warm, fuzzy guitars and vocals used on every track never get old.
I recommend this album to any old fan of I Hate Jazz or Scott Pilgrim's Sex Bomb-Omb. You're in for a real treat!
Please note that
Here's what I'm working on right now to make your experience better >:-)
Let me tell you a story about Morchey. Morchey is a very nice cow who lived on a very nice farm. Morchey has never gotten into an argument about politics, and always lets someone else pick the movie to watch. Isn't Morchey a nice cow? He must have some good things coming his way. If you want to send a letter to Morchey, write to Cell 14, Sullivan's Maximum Security Prison, 155 Franklin Road, Bellydale, New York.
