Hey Zach, thanks for the ideas. It's definitely not D4 or Squirrel Bait, but yeah definitely has a pop-punk flavor and definitely reminds me of something from the mid-west. Sounds like it came from late-80's to Mid-90's. This has been eluding me (as well as everyone I've ever played it for, for almost a decade now). Pretty amazing. If you've got any other ideas of where else i can try to post it or any music trivia genius who might know, please lemme know.
thanks again for all your suggestions!

Neither of those ideas seem to fit, but thanks, ringworm. Anyone know of any databases/services that might be better at interpreting this sample than Shazam? There's gotta be some scientific approach that i'm missing here.

Who ever it is, they really sound a lot like Moving Targets.

Not a song but a band: early-mid 2000s Italian psych band strongly influenced by the Small Faces, The Move, I think their name was a woman's name, like 'Helen (Something)'. It's driving me nuts

looks like they've been going strong and only released something last month!

Googling them tells me that their name is taken from a line from "Lucifer Sam" by Pink Floyd, which was itself a reference to Syd's girlfriend at the time.
