The Queers are Back!

"Yes, that's right. The Queers have returned and show no signs of old age. It's kind of amazing how a legendary band this old can still put out an album that sounds just as good as their stuff back in the day. This has 13 tracks and all still have the Queers sound that we love. Duke Kahanamoku, and I Can't Stay Mad At You, both have that Beach Boys vibe that The Queers like to throw in. One thing that you will notice though when you listen to this is that you can hear some maturity and also some experimentation. For example, I Think She's Starting To Like Me, is a simple 2 minute song but in the middle it kind of goes in a direction that you probably wouldn't hear from the Queers. Some other highlights are I'm A Fool, and the excellent closer for the album, Brian Wilson. There is also a couple guest musicians on this record including, Ben Weasel with his song Tangerine, and Lisa Marr on the vocals for Brian Wilson. This is a very solid record and other bands this age couldn't put out a record as good as Munki Brain. Congratulations Joe Queer, we hope to see many more albums after this! Buy this album."
