Ackk!!! What happened? A severe 1-year decline from their great first single. Aluminum Room is dull new wave with no edge to it at all – and it sucks. Poor People may be worse. Being un-PC over quirky punk (Immigration Report) is one thing, extending said un-PC-ness over faux ska is another altogether. The band looks truly demented on the back cover photos – a minor plus.

Excellent Devo-inspired single from these Miami rock-guy weirdos. Immigration Report features some rather un-PC lyric concerning Miami’s newest residents following a cool guitar buildup. It’s Over is the most Devo or no-wavy song on the record and almost as good as the A side. 1:19 of perfection. (I don’t wanna be a) Teen Idol (forever) is closer to new wave, but still a decent song. Another 7” followed. I believe these guys have reappeared in some form in the last year or two.
