steveinsocal "...4 knockout tracks in 7 minutes equals brilliant fun! The second half of the EP - musically at least - owes as much in common with the early-Eighties UK DIY post-punk scene as it does Twee - the songs are more guitar-focused and feature an up-beat refrain, but pithy and keenly observational lyrics remain at their centre..."

timmy gogo Grabbed the demo of Rental a while back. So happy they kept going. This reminds me of Icicles' Pure Sugar, AGSFB's Summer of '98, this is my absolute favourite pop. Thanks Jonesies. Favorite track: Peter.

Peter 01:49
Take me out to a game I want to see the baseball players Playing a game of baseball Take me out to a bar I want to see how much you can really drink Is it as much as they say? Would you be impressed If I told you I could play guitar? Take me out to a club I’ll stand against a wall Please, I insist, don’t take my hand Take me out to a yard One that is full of junk I’ll pick up some trash and call it art Would you be impressed If I told you I could play guitar? I play it poorly I play it poorly But it’s the words that matter Or so I tell myself
2.
Log Cabin 01:52
I built my life around you I based my life around that fact And you, you, you can tell it’s pathetic Oh you, you know that it’s true And I can’t handle simple things Like when I meet someone new Call someone’s phone number No one picks up That’s the story of my life Why do I try? It’d be easier not to
3.
Rental 01:21
I hate my life and I hate my job I hate my boss when I look at him Julie calls in to lose a shift I’m stuck here, oh what a bitch Driving driving The pain must end Driving driving In your car I clock out and it’s ten to twelve Go to a party with all my friends Everyone I hate is standing there Sit in a corner and drink to death
4.
You tell me to stay across a room Okay But I know it’s a game If I was wrong I think I would know If I was wrong I think I would know You tell me I struck a nerve Who cares I wish I could but I’m fucked if it was a competition I think I would know I’d have you bleeding when I want You tell me lies To keep me sharp You tell me lies All the time
