Such infectious & melodic hooks are almost a rarity these days in the land of pop & roll.  This album bounces.  Great beats, great hooks and tres cool stories of the quirky lives of its band members.  Having had the honor of playing with Artie Lamonica in the '90s - I am thrilled to find this collection of songs lovable and very easy to listen to.  "Related items" say they sound like Jefferson Airplane but it is more accurate to compare them to a very percussive Mamas & Papas.  The blend of femme/male harmonies soar and swell and the beats drive it.  Wonderful lyrics - the Story of the Shirts continues .   Vive la Brooklyn!! Vive le Shirts!!
