Given the bland and dreary current state of American power pop, it comes as something of a shock to find a Stateside band who understands that Cheap Trick are far more worthy of adulation than the Goo Goo Dolls. "I Don't Want To Break Up" isn't the best track from Tsar (give me "The Teen Wizards" any day), but it's still pretty great: Ringing guitars, a nitro-fuelled rhythm section, plenty of backing "woo-oo-oo"s, and an indelibly hooky melody all add up to power pop of the highest order. Definitely the sort of thing that's made to be cranked while riding up the coast with the top down.

I was a groupie for these guys for exactly one day- I've never had the need to follow like a puppy dog around musicians...but these guys have this performance flair- like wearing an American Flag as a cape, dancing with a tiara on- among other incredible sights. I love these guys. ANd if I was a tad bit braver- I would have asked for the lead singer to sign my shirt or something rediculous like that- I'm telling you, these guys are some serious teenage angst poppy trying to be brittish music
