PRESS RELEASE for

BOMBPOP: ANITA HILL b/w BOB STINSON/IT'S OKAY
released December 1994 on SNAP! Records #190494CS001

Reviews that we like (a completely biased and subjective selection):

Very catchy power pop with hooks galore. Three boppin' cuts in all. Think Replacements, Goo Goo Dolls, Ramones. Now get this! - THIMBLERIGGER

The songs all lean in the direction of beautiful pop punk, lightly touched with soul. Not a bomb but still a grenade. -STAY WILD (Germany)

On the basis of the alternate vocalists, this disc could almost pass for Grant Hart/The Last. Lovely guitar punk/pop which, in contrast with 90 percent of the music in this category, doesn't grate on your nerves. (By the way, Anita Hill is that lady to whose behind Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' hands are supposed to have been so attracted, I believe.)
-The OX (Germany).

"Anita Hill" just steals this pop dog-and-pony show with a great beat and catchy chorus. It's as American as red, white and blue. - SPANK (not Swank!)

The real treat, for Replacements fans at least, is "Bob Stinson", complete with a tribute solo and wacky lyrics: "I used to play guitar, now I just stand here and wipe the bar." Here's hoping Bob laughs if he hears it.
-MAGNET

The band's got indie pop written all over their garage door. The occasional loudness might disturb some neighbours, but they have not called the police so far. If it ever gets louder, they might prevent the worst by putting on their nicest smile that would make even old hags melt.
-Hans-Jurgen Klitsch

Thank you for sending me the tape. Please pass on my thanks to all who worked on this project.
-Anita F. Hill, Professor of Law (no lie!)

I wonder what they're up to now...
-YOU COULD DO WORSE
