An unexpected surprise sent from SLC, Utah. This nine-song tape contains some cool-as-shit punk rock 'n' roll tunes that can be liberally described as the Ramonesmeet Stiff Little Fingers meet The Crumbs. "She Went Pop" has a 1, 2, 3, 4-and-go catchy sing-along style and the lyric, "Joe Strummer?/'What a bummer,' she said/She don't even get the knack." "Holly Beth, Mary Jo, And Me" (another revealing play on a musical title with the line, "There's a rock 'n' roll girl dancing to the beat") and "Nice Guy Syndrome" ("You're telling me that I'm too nice/Not like the guy on 'Miami Vice'") are as good as this thing called "punk" gets. "Up To My Neck In You" had me thinking The Zillionaires have good taste in AC/DC songs, but it turned out to be another fine original upon hearing.
