Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 04:00 Release Notes: Gotta love a power pop band that finishes off their debut with a cover of AC/DC`s "Dirty Deeds Done Cheap". Good move (and listen to a clip below)!! The 8th Grade are pure popwer pop band filled with energy, invective and hooks, so heavily laced with endlessly captivating grooves, catchy melodies and infectious riffs, it is an easy mistake to at first overlook the complex, image-rich, insightful and often comedic lyrics on this delightful first release. The band push forth a sonically strong synthesis of belligerently overactive and intensely tuneful melodies, funny lyrics, a slight does of `quirk` and catchy songs. A strong debut, no doubt, with plenty of purely power pop bursts of harmony, furious rhythms and a delectable, unpretentious, fashion-free debut. Very Highly Recommended!
