Thank God for the search function on this blog. I wrote a complete entry for Street Sweeper's excellent 7" "Don't Wait". As I was about to post, I checked to see if I'd posted about their first 7" and...hello, I'd posted about the 7" in late November 2024. Just call me Mr. Short Term Memory.
So, still in the mood for some good old-fashioned power pop/punk I came across The Dumpies newish LP, "Gay Boredom", released via Dirt Cult Records. The Dumpies were originally from Austin, Texas, but have since relocated to Astoria, Oregon. They recorded this LP with help from "guidance counselor", Tim Kerr (Big Boys).
This LP literally careens between punk, hardcore, and power pop. For quick proof listen to tracks 10 and 11 ("Hot Wash" to "Gay Boredom"). It reminds me of the sounds of TURBOSLEAZE and sometimes Fucked Up. And if you didn't know better, you'd think these were teenagers or maybe college students based on the sophomoric lyrics and topics. And while, I couldn't listen to this everyday (or even every week) it definitely scratched the itch I needed scratching today.
