http://www.indiepages.com/reviews/index.html 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!
