Webcam Teenz have very quietly released one of the greatest trashy punk albums of recent memory. I speak figuratively, since I don't think Webcam Teenz do much of anything quietly. Famously, this foursome is Muncie, Indiana's only punk band.
M.A.F. is the band's first album, and it's a true work of garage punk perfection. Drawing equally from the worlds of snotty punk and budget rock, it's full of the simplest, catchiest, and most brilliantly stupid three-chord tunes you could ever hope to hear. The opening title track is an instant classic of Midwestern punk rock, and the rest of the album carries on in the same spirit. This album is tremendous fun. It ought to be played obnoxiously loud while you sit on your porch drinking the cheapest beer you can find. At a time when "garage punk" bands disappoint me nine times out of ten, Webcam Teenz are a true breath of fresh Indiana air. This album could have come out on Rip Off Records 20 years ago! Be very careful when you Google that band name...
