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.
