D: line records. ls 1114 / 3 tracks / 1983

Version on Line Records includes a third track, “My Boyfriend’s Back”, cover lists it on the front sleeve. Bomp web site reports that the German reissue apparently was a success in Germany (I was there and never heard it back then, so it had to be a moderate success at best); they were even invited for a show on German TV; since the band didn't exist anymore they created a fake band that lip-synced over a playback tape.

Excellent pop punk from LA; the female singer and the poppy melodies make this sound a lot like early Go-Gos, but the MnMs are much more on the punk side, rougher guitars and noisier production. Classic power pop/punk. (KS) [9]

Titelsong ist eine Coverversion, die Sängerin der M&M’s bringt den alten ’Angels’-Rock’n’Roll-Hit aber wesentlich besser. Pop Punk würde gut passen, ähnlich wie die Go-Go’s, nur mit härteren Gitarren und wesentlich näher am Punk orientiert. Man stelle sich ’Teenage Kicks’ mit dem Gesang und dem Charme einer Kaugummigöre vor… Alle 3 Tracks sind Juwelen. (KS)
