Here's some info on the record... TOX16: The Capitalist Kids - Lessons on Love, Sharing, and Hygiene 12" LP It's pretty rare that we fall in love with a band on first listen, but that was exactly the case when Austin, TX's The Capitalist Kids sent us their new recording. It's really hard not to get sucked in by the familiar pop-punk hooks first made popular by Lookout! Records bands like Green Day and The Mr. T Experience, but the new recording really had us yelling "Hell yes!" when the third song, "Parachute of Gold", kicked in with it's socially critical lyrics. It's easy to find a pop-punk band that can write a catchy song about a new or lost love, but when they can seamlessly flow between a song like that and a song about the growing income gap in this country, it's a really, really special thing. Other often neglected topics in the genre that can be found on this album include the cold-hearted Ayn Rand, Socialist as badge of honor, and the disappointment and anger at famous punk rockers punching women. Don't worry traditionalists, songs about girls are abundant as well. This is your new favorite record. Comes with a digital download code. You can preview a couple tracks from the record at our Bandcamp page... http://firestartertoxicpop.bandcamp.com www.firestarterrecords.com/catalog www.firestarterrecords.com/catalog www.firestarterrecords.com/catalog www.firestarterrecords.com/catalog www.firestarterrecords.com/catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
