The Busy Signals - Busy Signals [2007]

THE BUSY SIGNALS are a girl fronted Chicago based power pop group formed in 2005 with members from CARBONAS, the KRUNCHIES and the TYRADES. And this, their debut full length record released on DIRTNAP RECORDS in 2007 was an instant power pop classic :D. Hits like PLASTIC GIRL, STEREO, GOT IT ALL WRONG and MATTER OF TIME make this one of my favorite records and I get back to it a lot. It's just so damn awesome and it makes me happy.

Prior to the full length they released a couple of singles on DOUCHEMASTER and SHIT SANDWICH RECORDS that are also great.

You can buy the LP HERE!
