da bomb

Review Score: (10/10)
There is one word that sums up this EP: badass. I agree w/reviewer and longtime AGR fan, Brian Pace, that their cover of "Sultans of Swing" exceeds the original itself and, additionally, was always a heavily requested favorite at their shows. "John Brown" and "Alaska" showcase some of their best lyrics, "Pin-Up Girl" is simply smokin', and "Smiling Up the Frown" provides a softer, romantic edge. Furthermore, "Alaska" is a song about preserving our natural habitats (presumably the area around the NAWR - Nat. Artic Wildlife Refuge), "John Brown" is about the famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at) abolitionist rebel, and "Pin-Up" serenades a porn star. Despite the fact that this band is no longer together, this EP is highly recommended.
