JOY CLEANER “Easter Tuesday” C6 (Dromedary Records)


If it’s delectable power pop you’re looking for, look no further than “Easter Tuesday,” an honest-to-god cassingle by an honest-to-god band that wouldn’t sound out of place on “Children of Nuggets.” The A-side might have been an early Posies castoff, while the two short tracks on the B retain a crunchy pop-punk brashness, but like in an early Lemonheads kind of way. At any rate, there are more hooks crammed into these six minutes than you’re likely to find anywhere else in the world, at any given time. OK, maybe that’s hyperbole (it surely is), but you could certainly do worse.
