The Aquabats!

Charge!! (Nitro)
by Scott Hefflon

Never much cared for this goofy skapunk band, and catering to the “the kids like Casios” crowd just makes them even more loathesome. I got numerous burns and advances, no bio or real CD, so no idea how many times they reference Devo in their bio, but I’m sure it’s a lot. When they’re jerky “weird punk” they’re pretty listenable, but when they cater to the kids, it’s obvious, and it blows. Proceed with caution.
