Mike Yannich, more famously known as Mikey Erg, is quite the busy man. From his haven in New Jersey, he's been able to create some of the best modern punk music around, even back from his time with The Ergs! and more recently with the immortal House Boat. His debut full-length, Tentative Decisions, is exactly the type of pop-punk (with heavy emphasis on the punk) we've come to know and love from him and the many great people around him. And even still, not a moment goes by on the album that is not high quality or very enjoyable, even though it doesn't throw a curveball. It's simply no-frills, catchy, relatable punk with the discernible blue-collar sound that makes this style so thrilling to listen to. Also, my mothers name is Julie, so "An Abundance Of Julies" is the perfect song for her. Thanks, Mikey. You make making playlists easier.
