Spraydog - "Mint Hand" cd (Stupid Cat)
Spraydog have been one of my very favorite bands for a while now, so of course I've been
greatly anticipating this cd. And they don't disappoint in the least. Sure, I can pull the old
"I like their early stuff best", which is true in a small way, but this record is still no
less than amazing - better than last year's "Lintered" even! A bunch of the songs on "Mint
Hand" are catchier on the first listen, where "Lintered" took a few listens to sink in.
"Aspirin" is excellent, as is "Don't Remember", "Girls Know Girls", and the noisy and cool
"Cal-Neva" (especially the fun shouty chorus). Actually, this record is less noisy than their
earlier stuff, but they still maintain their sound, which I can say is very distinctive - I
can think of few bands to compare them to. In case you haven't heard about them, I'd say
"noisy boy/girl pop in the vein of the Swirlies or Tse Tse Fly, with a great guitar sound!".
I've raved about this band more than a few times to friends and anyone else who would listen,
so let's hope that the band gets some more recognition soon!
