O Pioneers!!! - Neon Creeps LP or TAPE KOD 030
It may sound cliché, but sometimes an album just speaks to you. In the case of Neon Creeps, O Pioneers talk about real life, about meeting real life head on and how absolutely and insanely overwhelming it is. Over a charging melodic backdrop, front man Eric shouts out his frustrations with money, old friends, the city and the various problems that everyone deals with daily. However, the band always pushes through all the bullshit to offer some small kind of hope. Not only are there plenty of “don’t let it get you down” and such offered in their songs, but sometimes Eric gets his way and lets everyone know. As great as the lyrics are, they’re dependent on the music beneath them to make validate it and in the case of Neon Creeps, it never disappoints. O Pioneers brand of punk sounds strangely more uplifting than it does abrasive. While in a way it could be argued that the point of point was always more about cathartic salvation than any kind of externally-focused confrontation, few bands have managed to make it all sound as personal and listenable as O Pioneers!!!
