RI (CD): sudden death. / 15 tracks / 2005

Reissue CD has 4 bonus tracks.

Happy, poppy, feel-good punk rock with very catchy choruses. About 50% of the songs are real punk; the others have more rock/rnr influences. Still, this is no mindless power pop album, the production still has some punch and I have no problems filing this under punk. [7]

Fröhlich-poppiger Wohlfühlpunk aus Kanada; etwa 50% der Songs sind richtiger Punk, der Rest geht dann schon eher in Richtung Rock/Wave. Trotzdem kein belangloses Pop-Album, die Produktion und der Gitarrensound sind noch kernig genug, um das unter Punk einzuordnen.

Tracks: marching song / perfect youth / no use for u / when she's alone / american song / 1-2 / the witch / real thing / way you do / out of luck / part of the noise
