This is a great collection and homage to the yesteryear of New York punk greats, The Ramones. Shonen Knife absolutely masters every track and the Japanese accent showing up on some of the old classics certainly adds to the charm. They are a tight unit rely on minimalism as a strength. Classic punk. This album certainly influenced some of my music early on. The concept of nostalgic covers with a punk rock approach. See my album Sings The Hits. Shonen Knife would be great to see live, and there is certainly coming out of Japan with Boredoms and OOIOO.
