Los Pepes- The Happiness Program LP.  For about 8 years now, I’ve been closely following the musical progression of the "loudest power pop band on earth". After perfecting the Good Vibrations Records inspired Powerpop Punk on its first couple of albums, this London outfit has proceeded to inch closer and closer to the blistering sonic fury it's known for on stage. If you're not ready to have your ears blown clean off of your head, you should be very careful laying the needle down on this sucker! On The Happiness Program' there's still plenty of pop in the equation, but here they lean heavier towards the tougher side of '77 punk (Testors, Dead Boys) with the thundering sonic energy of early Who and the Kinks. ‘The Happiness Program’ includes 12 buzzing, power-poppin’, punk rock blast that I dig even more than their last album.  Recommended. Import from Germany.
