Rock and Roll Part Three (Kung Fu)
by Scott Hefflon
Power poppers from Orange County who like Weezer and ’80s nostalgia. There’s a song called “Natalie Portman” (before the Episode One hoopla, we’re told), and the rest are pretty evenly split between mid-tempo Weezer rolling drone with falsetto highlights and dorky Nerf Herder reaching vocals and butt-wiggling powerpunk. Like cutesy punkpop bands doing the sappy Grease thing, all naïve and sentimental and… predictable.
