Lost Locker Combo - Freshman Orientation

Leider nix auf Deutsch gefunden - daher...

Many older pop punk troubadours sing about high school girls and teenage angst, but Lost Locker Combo take it to a whole other level, their image and theme being entirely devoted to all things high school. It's more than a little weird, since the members look to be in their 30s. Over-the-top cutesiness like matching school band uniforms, heavy use of glockenspiel, and baby doll female background vox add to the creepy factor. Gimmick aside, though, the music is nicely punchy and poppy with 50s-style upbeat vocal harmonies and inventive male-female vox interplay. This would be a great pop-punk album if it weren't so annoyingly goofball and shlocky. In that sense, they remind me of The Go-Nuts and NOFX: good, peppy punk tunes that are ruined by relentless shtick.
