Lots of “La-La-La” vocals give a clue where the sound situates itself. While they do not sound like the following bands I’ll mention here, it’s clear the band has spent some time listening to The Rubinoos, Raspberries and Saturday Morning bands from the early/mid 70s as the bubblegum sugar levels are off the charts and on the way to tooth decay – God bless them!
