A little modern Garage Punk rock on this fine Saturday morning. My friend Craig turned me on to the Mono Men when we lived in Denver back when this was released. He loved all things Northwest (Sub Pop, C/Z, Estrus) and I found I gravitated to it as well. That west coast sound was so different than what was going on in the East (Merge, Matador). I remember working with a guy that had moved from Chapel Hill and he turned me on to Superchunk. I tried to turn him on to these West Coast sounds, but he absolutely hated the Mono Men...while he did like Beat Happening. I guess growing up nearly in the middle of the country allowed Craig and I to have the ability to like both coasts. 36 years later and I still like to blow the roof of this joint with the Mono Men.
