The States Gimme Joy 12″

Oh, I like this right from the start. Catchy and melodic, it’s got a real “full” sound, and fronted with female vocals that are catchy on their own. Pop punk? Not really. Power pop? Possibly? Rock’n’roll? Punk? Pop? Honestly, it’s all of those things. Drums really keep things moving along nicely. Kind of reminds me of the BABYSHAKES with vocals that aren’t quite so sugary. I’m bouncing and swaying my head and my shoulders. I love this.
