The Epoxies
(Dirtnap)
by Craig Regala
Tinfoil hat “new wave” ’80s roots intensified and streamlined away from the hinky-jerkiness of much of that stuff in favor of a pushier punk and roll take on such goofiness. So, ticky-tacky drums and simple synth melodies and telegraph-beeping get driven along by the good ole chopped-chord guitaring and strong melodic female singing.

*Syphilis. This is the venereal disease that scared the bejesus outta early new wavers, until AIDS came along, making the syph look ok.
