That this is Boston Manor's debut LP adds to how captivating this album is. I'm blown away. The album doesn't lose steam. Pop Punk AOTY for me so far. 'Laika', 'Lead Feet', and 'Broken Glass' are standouts.

Microwave Much Love
A slightly more accessible follow up to their previous material. As before, there aren't really
any grandiose concepts in the songwriting but it works for this type of music. The tracks clearly
tell relatable stories. The vocals are little more refined from previous efforts. Lead vocalist
Nathan Hardy is good--not great--and he gives everything he's got on each track. The music has a
notable southern flavor carrying the introspective lyrics.
The sound is genre-bending. The instrumentation in general is nothing new but it?s much
chunkier/smooth than many of Microwave's peers. Chunky and smooth? like chunky peanut butter. If
you're a chunky peanut butter kind of person you'll like this.

Caught off guard by how solid this is. Very fresh sound. Also, basing your name off of a Regular Show reference is about as pop punk as it gets.
