Unwelcome Guests top 10 status!

Unwelcome Guests "Don't Go Swimming" was recently featured in a column on Popmatters.com as one of the best punk albums of 2010. We can't help but agree. This is what they had to say:

"With well-aimed tunefulness, like a U.S. teenage version of the Clean or Maximo Park, these lads deliver pop-centric fare for a guilt-ridden age. The harnessed speed of “Might Be Broken” is insistent and urgent. The theme focuses on being “broken and unemployed, depressed and a total mess,” though the vibe is neither hostile nor hollow. It reeks with hopefulness, concentrated into miles of memorable melody. They shift, too, outfitting “Wrecking Ball” with cowpunk credibility. “Considering” returns to puncturing guitar and Buzzcocks-like gusto as they desire to leave the cluttered adult world behind. Let’s join them, one song at a time."

Not too shabby! If you haven't checked out "Don't Go Swimming" you can pick it up on vinyl, cd or free download in our store HERE
