Album Notes Pinehurst kids: Joe Davis (vocals, guitar); Caleb Gates (vocals, bass); Marnie Martin (drums). Additional personnel: Paul Brainard, Gene Hall (guitar); Robler Kind (drums). Recorded at Jackpot! Studio, Portland, Oregon. The Pinehurst Kids sure kick up quite a racket for a three-piece. In the noblest of indie-rock traditions they marry a wall of distortion to a wall of melody. And with a best man of earnest angst, and a bridesmaid of raging enthusiasm, you get one kicking wedding. They pack quite a punch into their guitar/bass/drums format, but this isn't pointless froth on the cappuccino; there's a triple shot of espresso at the bottom of the cup--great songs. And these songs are pure caffeine--they wake you up and keep you up. Though they're not breaking any new ground, they prove that the old ground is as fertile and fruitful as it ever was.
Editorial Reviews 3 out of 5 - ...infectious, playful and timely....They're new, they're fun and they've given themselves some room to grow... Alternative Press (04/01/2000)
...They display a penchant for infectious energy and song dynamics....guitars are strummed fervently, vocals emote to the hilt and the rhythm section is propulsive as all get-out....The innocent hopeful sound of the music belies the acerbic lyricism... Magnet (04/01/2000)
