Top 10 of 2007
From Teenacide comes Peachfuzz whose second album bounces back and forth between Lookout era Green Day and a sound lost somewhere between TSAR's self titled debut and anything from Fountains of Wayne. Listening to records from the Teenacide label doesn't necessarily make you wax rhapsodic of an era long gone. Rather, they keep you believing that there is some alternate universe based in some middle class city in Orange County where kids still where Vans, have make-out parties, and take their musical cues from 120 Minutes on MTV. A world where everyone tunes into the same FM morning show to hear their daily take of The La's "There She Goes" and The Producers "She Sheila" while eating french toast with maple syrup and basking in the early California sun. A world without the Internet, although a few class geeks know of something called BBS. Catch Your Snap has become the perfect soundtrack to this alternate universe, even if that world is just some silly fantasy of mine.
