Album of the Weekend

The Queers-Don't Back Down

You've probably heard the song "Punk Rock Girls" and if you haven't, stop reading this (the one of you who does) and go download it now. It's not really punk-to me it sounds more rock-ish-but it's the best song they've ever done. The Queers always got more controversy and were never taken as seriously than they deserved. For some people it's because of the name, for others it's because of their sometimes questionable songwriting abilities.

The song "Don't Back Down" sounds just like "Suzanne" by Weezer to me. Several of the other songs sound a bit like other classic punk bands. This album isn't pure punk, it's more like a cross between punk and pop. Think Blink-182 meets some of the Ramones later albums.
