Pack Rat
Life's a Trap LP
(Drunken Sailor Records)
Connoisseurs of 1970s Punk dug that cotton-candy lilts that sing-songed into grey matter were as proper to the subgenre as buzzsaw bar-chording. (Lore holds that the Bay City Rollers were among Mr. Dee Dee's favorite combos. His tunecraft often included brisk pop strains to which pogoers could shout-chant.) Pack Rat honors that sterling model; their multicolored party-streamer offerings buoy even the roughest rip-and-stitch customers with delightfully melodic friskiness. Plus (and this, too, is critical) no song exceeds three minutes - or even nears that mark.
Recommended: "Heart Beat," "I Know You Know," "Sleepless," "Two Makes One," "Can't Stop"
