this Seattle trio, led by my pal Adriano, plays the exact style of fuzzy power-pop that I love, with loads of catchy hooks, a surfy vibe and a whole lotta reverb. Recorded in a basement studio, this is certainly Blooper's best-sounding work to date. It's criminal that after three years together, they've only released a few EPs (two self-released cdeps and a 7" on the legendary Manic Pop Records), but now that I've joined the band as the new bass player, I'll try to get them in gear!
