Back with his first new solo tracks in a couple years, Gene Champagne hits the mark with a new digital single (arriving in advance of a vinyl release) in his signature punky power pop style. This ace drummer (Brad Marino, Teenage Head, The Killjoys) is also a formidable singer and songwriter, and he's really speaking my language on this crackling summertime two-fer. "Gimme Ammunition" is snappy power pop that will have you tapping your toes and humming along in no time flat. When that hook hits, it hits big! In just a few ticks over two minutes, the song is over and done and leaving you wanting more. That, my friends, is pop songwriting 101. On the virtual flip side, "She's An Atom Bomb" is a little faster and punkier — yet every bit as sunny and catchy. This song is a total earworm, and the lyrics are hilarious! This is a perfect little punk-pop single for warm weather season, and it's sure to go over well with just about anyone who regularly visits this site. You can always count on Canada to come through!
