Hello kids,

Jerry here....I must apologise for my lack of productivity here at 4th wave lately....but man do i have some reviews coming for you....so lets get started...

For the longest time there had been no news out of The Kingpins camp. Then the band came to town and announced they were breaking up....which really meant ditching The Kingpins moniker and coming back as Lo and the Magnetics. Their debut album has dropped and I can't begin to tell you how stellar it is. Think Elvis Costello during the "Get Happy" era with a female vocalist. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I enjoy this new incarnation ten times better than I ever liked the Kingpins....and I loved the Kingpins...Mitch Girio wrote the majority of the album and some old faves are here as well as some kickin' new tracks.

Standout songs : Insult and Battery, Fool On Impact, This Town's Unbearable, Party Of One, Shipwrecked Heart, Never Let You Down.

Besides the stellar track listing the production is super solid. I can't put it better than simply saying the album sounds cool. A must have. Really....change your Christmas lists and add this disc...you'll thank me for it.
