Power-pop trio from the shores of Santa Monica. Reved up guitars and well beaten drums drive home hooks that should be living on the jukebox in Stacy's mom's house. Brian Wilson, are you out there?

Album Notes

Power-pop blasts of distorted catchy tunes that are influenced by all the best Beatles imitators. Why not add hooks to those cool guitar sounds? And why do all those catchy songs sound so lame? Hey, there's peanut butter in my chocolate! Wait a minute...mmm...yummy. Singer-guitarist Martin Blasick has been writing songs for movies for some time. Lindsey Lohan sang one in Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen. OK, maybe it wasn't Citizen Kane, but it was fun. But, all that movie stuff can't take the place of strapping on a sparkly gold guitar and cranking it up!!! Mark Prudeaux plays bass and sings harmony. Kevin Darish pounds the drums and sings harmony. It's like a jacked up Beach Boys. California living at its finest. Statica plays all the worst stages in the scariest parts of town.

Totally enjoyable outing.

Real sugary power pop. Totally enjoyable outing. Fans of bands like JELLYFISH and BIG STAR might just want to check these guys out.

Old school pop shooting for a future on the radio
author: Reviewer Magazine
Total pop punk with a painting on the CD sleeve of a Futuristic girl (with a see-thru Jetson-esque dress and hi-tech leggings that would make a Japanese tennis shoe designer proud) tuning in an old 1940s radio. That's the feeling you get from this music: it's old school pop shooting for a future on the radio. It's mellow and easy-to-hear music. Somehow I imagine that they've got lots of betties at their shows. Nice touch is a short cover of "the Morning After" (from the Poseidon Adventure) that starts out staticy like a transistor radio, then gets strong and clear

If Guided By Voices played songs like The Ramones
author: Patty Hearst / Blastitude
To their credit, they do label this album as power pop on a sticker, which will not mislead anyone. Lead singer Martin Blasick has a voice like a young Robert Pollard! If Guided By Voices played songs like The Ramones which would be about what it would sound like, also, Pollard would have to be on prozac to produce this result. Should they go on a month long drinking bender? A keg on stage per show across the country? Then they could be Guided by Voices Part II and it would be awesome! As it is, they’re very talented and awesome musicians, who will definitely be around in the future.

I would not have expected this CD in my life time
author: Moloko Plus (10/2004)
(Tranlated from German) For once, this is a pleasant surprise. Mostly I recieved average or even shit and I must buy the good records myself. I would not have expected this CD in my life time, I am also not sure whether it is available in Germany. It has really great pop songs like "Closer to you" There is also energy, that songs like "All of my money" or "Carry my amp" prove. No, really, a wonderful CD, Great job. -tb
