While the tunes are mostly sung by frontman Jason Stollsteimer, the Bondies present a "what the...?!" moment on "Not That Social". Bassist Carrie Smith steps up to the mic and, voila!, it's The Breeders. That's right, if "Cannonball" came on next you would not be surprised.
Pawn Shoppe Heart was produced by Jerry Harrison (now there's a name from the past) who is to be commended for finding just the right mix of guitar chunk and in-your-face vocals.
Stick around for the "mystery song" at the end of the title track and you'll be treated to a garage-ified version of the soul classic "Try A Little Tenderness".
I'd like to see the nu-kids try to pull that off.
Only kidding.
(Pawn Shoppe Heart will be released on March 9th)
