This is the band where Rose Melberg got her start, and for many people, it's also her best band. It's weird, I would never consider this noise pop, and yet it's clearly pop and it's also fairly noisy. There's a bit of sweetness to the guitar though, if that makes sense? And that's probably why I can't quite ever think of this as noise pop, though don't quote me on that. Anyway, they've got to be one of the most fun West Coast bands of the time period.
