Leather jackets & spilled beer, Mosrites & ripped Levi's. You can hear it in your head already, can't ya? Buzzsaw guitars and a 4/4 beat, stripped of any unnecessary bullshit. The Livermores get it. They understand rock n' roll. Be Buddy Holly on speed. Originality is overrated. Punk rock's blueprint was perfected decades ago, and today's bands (well the good ones anyway) are just putting their stamp on the sound. Keeping the legacy of the four cretins from Forrest Hills alive. This is their first 12 inch slab. 13 songs, 21 minutes, get in and get out before the buzz wears off or the cops show up. Like that fella said "don't bore us/get to the chorus". From track to track their mission is clear: steal back the airwaves for rock n roll radio. "The Sixth Rule", don't know it? You'll learn. Get hip to "Copacabana". No, not that one, Barry Manilow is a wimp. "Easter Island H.E.A.D." in search of Ree Ree, Touch & Tulu. "I Love Her (She Don’t Care)" they never do. "48 s." is 43 seconds long, perfect. "Bay California" second verse different from the first. "GK Commando" guitars as assault weapons. You dig what I'm sayin? It's an A+ report card signed by Principal Togar. Absolutely bulletproof. 1234.

If I have any problems with this one, it’s the slick production, but that’s just a me. As far as content goes, this is a great record. All of the songs are super catchy and fun. Kind of funny they are called the Livermores, cuz they sound like late 80s/90s Lookout bands. I’m sure it’s intentional. Is LL in this band?
