the modernettes get it straight cd

i'm not sure how many times i've played the teen city ep. hundreds at least. well i found this and just had to get it. and boy i'm glad i did! the modernettes were a fantastic poppy punk band from canada. this cd has everything they did in the studeo. the first 6 tracks are from the amazing teen city ep. yeah...amazing. the next 3 tracks are from the gone but not forgiven lp. the lp is live except these three. shame really. would have loved to hear a modernettes lp. won't have to worry i've heard before and it quickly became my favorite song by them. but really all the songs are great. the next 5 tracks are from the view from the bottom ep. remixed i guess. it kicks off with rebel kind. wow is that a great song or what! i guess the problem with this record is every song once i hear it becomes my favorite. maybe i'm the one with the problem haha. the next tracks are demo and live stuff. i with they'd included more demo tracks as the one on this cd is amazing. if anyone has the full tape and would like to share it....well i'd like it. the live tracks are okay i guess. i'm not much for live tracks anyway. seriously i only have a few live recordings. the tracks for the radio show (i think) are really good. over all a fantastic record from a fantastic band. allmusic said this band probably doesn't stand the test of time. well here's someone who wasn't even born when the modernettes were around (yes i am that young) who loves this record. take that allmusic! haha. if you like powerpop or melodic punk it's not even a question of should you buy it but when should you? the answer, right now!!!!!!

the modernettes teen city 12 ep

well zach i guess is taking a little break as i did (if he's not than fuck off) and as liliput said "when the zach's away the elliott will play." okay he's not really gone but i just wanted to put that. what we have hear is another band from canada the modernettes with a fucking killer 12 ep. every song is just great powerpop punk i guess you'd call it. i guess the band didn't want to be big. trust me they could have been. i heard a story about some big record label dipshit coming to a show and i guess he was freaked out cause those guys were smoking and drinking onstage and just acting like well acting like stupid teens. love it. i just checked and they is a comp cd of all the band's material. get it. and it was produced by the same guy who fucked up metallica. actually i like new metallica but fuck it's just not the same. he does a good job on this one though. get it somewhere. and one of the guys has a book out that you should get. not sure what the title is right now but if you look a little you can find it. i think the dude's name is john armstrong but he goes by something else on the record. if you're reading this and you were in this band (which you won't be) fill us in.
