Literal years in the making is this almost sinister, sickeningly sweet power pop masterpiece from the Chicago band What Gives. This record could give you a toothache it's so sugary.
Boasting members from Elway, Ratboys, Pet Symmetry, Annabel, Party'z and a host of other bands, this 11 song monster is FULL of earworm hooks, memorable riffs, fuzzy guitars (AND SYNTHS!) and awesome production care of Mark Michalik (Pet Symmetry, Hot Mulligan, The Swellers).
Think about everything you love about 90's Weezer, early Motion City Soundtrack, the major label Lemonheads years -- It's all here. Just catchy moment after catchy moment which will keep you coming back over and over and over and over and over and over.
Grab one and chase away those dreary blues with thoughts of rolling the windows down on a beautiful day, drinking a cool cocktail in the sun and rocking out with your best friends in a sweaty basement. This record will take you there.
