First Base

(Hozac) Because bubblegum powerpop has some pretty specific formulas and because if you are true of heart, in touch with your inner horny teen, have some Kassenetzz-Katz 45s and Shoes LPs, and are willing to practive you can achieve some fine skillz in this arena, I have to say I have heard a number of genuinely impressive, borderline great proto-bubblegummers over the last few years. But this is the first time I had to spend fifteen minutes on the Internet confirming this was actually a contemporary band and not a reissue! First base? I feel like I totally scored!
