Catholic Guilt 1
7" EP
"You may have seen this bandname bandied about the Aquarius mailorder updates, particularly as Andee Connors released an Ovens CD on his tUMULt label a little while back. They appear to be a well-loved Bay Area band/mini-institution that mints harmonic pop with metallic crunch, and keeps those two in semi-perfect balance for about 30-90 seconds at a time. Imagine a slightly more metallic Weezer playing shorter songs with three times the hooks and you’re like 99% of the way there. There’s eight songs here, as opposed to 44 on the CD, and you’re bound to enjoy one or two of them (my picks would be “Let Down” and “Losin’” on side B. This will appeal to a wide variety of people who only need listen to understand. You’re probably among them. Good example of a band taking a limited approach and making it work well for themselves" -Doug Mosurak
