Gargle Blaster

Poverty Stinks delivers three minutes of pure power pop velocity on Gargle Blaster, a release that crackles with the kind of distorted urgency Gaga Goodies has become known for championing. Fuzzy guitars collide with infectious hooks and a rhythm section that refuses to let up, channeling the bratty energy of late-70s new wave filtered through contemporary indie sensibilities. This is power pop stripped to its essentials—no filler, just the rush.
