Staff Pick

Every so often here at Repo we like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. The one we pick today is.....

The Unwed Teenage Mothers - Blonde Girls
(Play Pinball)



Featuring both members of Bass Drum of Death and various others bands on various songs. Some songs on this record are standard garage pop rockers and that's whatever but this record really shins when they allow themselves to do things slightly different. Adding a synth line or slowing down and adding an acoustic really have an impact, making for more capturing and engaging songs. Which is important on a sound that has been done so many times. Also this record is an EP. It's the same songs pressed on both sides because, according to the label, you'll need another side cause you are gonna "...burn out the first side with how much you'll play this"
