Just one month after TASTE TESTORS formed they played their first show, and a month after that they recorded and mastered their first album, and a month after that they cut a deal with Moodkiller Records (Hutchie, Trash Sound Conglomerate, The Snubs) these cats aren’t hanging around that’s for sure and with Steve E being such a busy boy its no wonder.

The debut album came together fast, just like the tempo of the tunes I guess. But when you have Steve E Nix on board how can’t you fall in love with this? Funnily Enough the opening salvo of ‘Don’t Fall In Love With Me’ coming thick and fast on the heels of ‘What She Don’t Know’ its punk rock Ramones style with a twinkle in the eye and a cheeky grin that turns into a bubblegum chewing snotty lyric here and there about Zombies and falling in and out of love Hell Dee Dee would be proud of this if this is what he passed on kinda his gift to the world being channelled from Seattle Washington to the world.

Ten tracks burrowing down inside your ears like the best earworms you could wish for as the winter falls away and the sun begins to shine through. ‘Doctor Doctor’ isn’t some twisted punk rock take on the UFO classic, but it’s a cheeky request for help on a borrowed and bastardised Who riff.

We’ve all got the capacity to grasp this record and pogo with it into the wee small hours as songs like ‘She Didn’t Tell Me’ fly by. I’m sure ‘No One’s Listening’ isn’t a pity party because I’m listening. It’s a short and sweet record and The Boys meets Da Bruddas sounding kiss off of ‘Narc’ is exactly the right place to call time on the Taste Testors debut album. in less than half an hour we can all have a great workout to some excellently executed punk rockin’ power pop from guys who know exactly how to do this shit right – Buy it!
