I dig this - totally captures the vibe of high school matinee punk shows (only more competent than the bands I was seeing at those shows in high school)

The more stuff I listened to and watched, the better they got. Yeah, I like this.

I found myself getting impatient with a whole album of this stuff when trying to listen to Feel Your Feelings Fool! (great title though), but I keep coming back to this kick-ass track:

I was toying with the idea of seeing them when they come by Philly but they're the second band playing on a four-band package and not sure I care enough about SWMRS or The Interrupters to stick around for them or pay $24 a ticket including fees to see them play maybe 45 minutes at most.

the song that quotes Salt n Pepa is the only misstep imo

I like the album a lot. I was hooked by the loud fast ones, but I find myself really digging the longer, more ambitious ones too. Kids got talent.

This blows me away - their version of Fox on the Run

Indeed they give good bubblegum. They did this one live when I saw them in Philly...

I love their sound but I'm not sold on most of their songs just yet

Their recent EP is good.

I also like their entry in the Hamilton covers project.

I hope to be seeing them tomorrow, actually. They are playing the same night about a 12 minute walk from where Radkey is playing. I prefer The Regrettes but the wife likes Radkey better and she hasn't seen them yet. I am hopeful they are playing at different times so we can catch both shows. Fingers crossed.

The band seems to have fully embraced a new pop direction for the forthcoming if the single performed on Kimmel can attest.

It's not my thing but I hope they get huge all the same.

This is the part in the movie where Olivia Rodrigo should become the Bowie to the Regrettes' Mott.

I'll be surprised if we don't hear from Lydia Dark again.
