O Pioneers Neon Creeps Rar
O Pioneers!!! May not have many similarities with Walt Whitman, the great American poet from whom they take their name, but do have one thing in common: they are animated with joy. These Houston punks always sound like they're having a hell of a time playing their simple cranked up shout-rock, rendering even lyrics like 'Forget about all the depression and all of the debt. I know I'm gonna die from it' anthemic and somehow redemptive. Their palpable pleasure is almost enough to carry their Neon Creeps LP.

It's punk with the right attitude, a sense of humor, none of the finger-wagging politics or emo self-seriousness, and just enough melody to carry you from one fist-pumping chorus to the next. They're happy and angry and restless and all of the things a bunch of hopped-up kids should be. You like them, and you want to like their album. Ultimately, though, it's only okay, marred by too many weirdly annoying moments and precious song titles. (See 'Saved by the Bell Was a Super Good Show,' the chorus of which is the word 'DRAMA' sung over and over again, the singer inexplicably placing the accent on the word's second syllable.) Still, I'd like it if there were more records out there in this quotidian vein - fleeting, honest, unself-conscious, funny, direct. Even another obnoxious title like 'Chris Ryan Added Me on Facebook' obscures one of the most truthful kiss-offs this side of Bob Dylan. ('See I'm older now, and I don't give a damn if I ever talk to you again.'
) Like I said, I don’t really like the album – Eric Solomon’s voice kind of sucks, some of the tracks go on too long, everything starts to feel kind of samey, etc But give it a shot anyway, maybe late at night on an empty highway. Your mileage may vary.
I posted these guys already in one of the mass posts so you should be acquainted with these screaming folksters by now. This album is exactly a month old as of today so I was kind of angry that I fell behind the scene and didn't know this came out. It's anything you'd expect from O Pioneers!!! So you won't be let down, although I do like the song titles a lot this time around.
