Mike TV – S/T

By paul

I could write reams and reams saying how good this record is, but it would be a waste of everyone’s time. The simple facts are that Mike TV are the best pop-punk band in the UK right now and this is one of the best UK releases of the year. The boys seem to have a knack of writing harmonies and melodies that are sweeter than anything around right now and while everyone goes on about the Green day influence, the guys are a little too chipper for a direct comparison. Anyway, they even have the balls to write a song called ‘American idols’. Tongues in cheeks lads?

I don’t really have to say too much more than that, just pick up this CD from this link:

or listen at this link:

and turn the volume up and sing along. It’s like Bracket singing Green Day songs. Sweet. So yeah, stop reading this guff and buy this CD. You won’t regret it.
