#825 Squarehead - Yeah Nothing

Check it out here!

Delightfully bouncy power-pop, full of insistent backbeats, restless bass rummaging, and plenty of good, solid Weezer-via-Surfer-Blood guitar crunch. There's enough variation to keep it interesting, with enough simplicity to keep it easy to listen to: that perfect balance that made me fall in love with, well, Surfer Blood. Some of the later songs get a bit watery; The Abandoned Sea sounds like a lost Rilo Kiley Blake-penned B-Side, but even that launches with a crackle into a fiery coda at the last minute.

Also, they're a taut, relentless kind of fun on stage. If they happen to come to your town consider them recommended there too 4/5
