Semi-Famous

Destroy Ourselves

(Rarebirdlit/Duck! Records)



The attraction fills ears: equally prominent Punk and Pop elements flex biceps and sprint on winged feet. "Semi-Famous" originated as a fictional group in Screeching Weasels co-founder John "Jughead" Pierson's 2001 novel Weasels In a Box. He's now assembled adroit confederates beneath that flag. Their punchy efforts wow. 

Recommended: "Weasels In a Box," "What's a Metaphor," "Obvious," "Katy Still Puts Up With Me," "Clow In the Window," "They Live Today," "Middle School Monster," "Rush II," "Yermo"
