What You Should Do Tonight…

…provided a quality punk rock show is what you’re craving:
A FRAMES, BIRTHDAY SUITS, THE PLEASURE BOATERS (Funhouse) It’s always a rare joy when you throw on a CD by a band you’ve never heard of and instantly fall in love. Minneapolis duo Birthday Suits accomplished this for me within the first 60 seconds of their 2005 debut, Cherry Blue (Nice & Neat Records). Guitarist Hideo Takahashi and drummer Yuichiro Matthew Kazama (formerly of the much-lauded-but-overlooked garage punks Sweet J.A.P.) create a lean, powerful noise-rock clatter that conjures many of the greats (Melt Banana, No Means No, Dead Kennedys), and exude the sort of punk magnetism that could change a young kid’s life. I can’t recommend this show enough. HANNAH LEVIN
Man Sub Pop sure did a lot for the A Frames. Who, BTW, rock the soggy socks off Band of Horses.
I'll stick with Social D for my punk rock jones tonight.
