Perhaps Christchurch's premier indie rock band at present, The Salad Boys are mostly Joe Sampson and a revolving number of local muso's playing with him when needed. This was Salad Boys second full album on vinyl, although they have some other very limited cassette releases.
Pretty straight ahead jangly catchy indie pop/rock, with some pretty cool guitar and melodies, plenty to keep the foot tapping, strong songs and a pretty good recording. Nice mix of fast and slower numbers showing off Joe's song writing chops and it can also get a bit heavier at times just to mix it up a bit. A strong album and their best so far as these melodies worm their way into my subconscious. Live they really kick arse. Rating 4/5.
