Frontman Seth Bogard wears his influences right on the sleeve of his greaser jacket. He and his merry band of Punx (including fellow sock-hop enthusiast Shannon Shaw, of Shannon & the Clams) offer the best girl-group homages this side of a casino reunion tour while staying true to their rough-and-tumble garage rock roots. Bogard's nasal whine might not be everyone's cup of tea, but with tunes as relentlessly charming as the title track from their debut, Too Young To Be In Love, it's an easy pill to swallow. With the Cute Lepers and Something Fierce.—David Raposa
