Mix the bouncy, clever power pop of Fountains of Wayne and anthemic choruses -- complete with entire band sing-alongs -- of 80s punk/college rock and you will quickly get a sense of the Star Spangles. Guitars are influenced by the Johnnys: Ramone and Thunders. This release might not change the world`s problems, but for 13 gloriously fun tracks, you might forget for a few minutes that the outside world exists. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Tic Records)
