...on Pirates Press Records, where it belongs, please enjoy irrepressible Wyoming(!) pop/punk wiseguys Teenage Bottlerocket, and their infectious and funny meditation on the culture(?) that surrounds us all, "So Dumb."
As you can perhaps guess, the song was inspired in part as a reaction to our recent COVID-related malaise. “I wrote ‘So Dumb’ because I was pretty frustrated with people's inability to seek common ground and try to make things actually better,” says bassist Miguel Chen. And a splendid job he did, too; in fact, I haven't stopped giggling snce I first heard the song's line "“No one really gives a shit / About the suffering of another / There's no need to even bother / I quit” when the link to it crossed my desk last week.
In any case, you can -- and should -- order the EP (on pink vinyl, no less) over at Pirates Press HERE. And tell 'em PowerPop sent you.

That woulda been great ... in 1976. Or maybe as a Green Day wannabe 30 years ago.
Kinda derivative, now. But nothing wrong with it, I guess.
Great song- a testament to me not turning it off midway
Someone once said if I don't hear the hook in 15 seconds.

I was in the mood for something like that of late.
Great stuff - thanks, Steve. This'd make a great segue into (or out of) Bob Mould' American Crisis.
Great song. They do the Ramones proud.
