Oh pop punk, why do I love thee so and why/how do I keep finding good and entertaining bands to listen to? I almost can't take it anymore. My brain's on overload. Backseat Virgins are just that sort of band. They're a bubblegum pop punk band from Birmingham, Alabama complete with keyboards, both male and female vocals, and (mostly) mid-to-uptempo catchy, head bobbing tunes. Their sophomore album, Carl , is a pretty straightforward demonstration of what the band is all about. It's solid but I would never call it "tight" and [...]

I f bubblegum pop-punk that is filled with lotsa boy/girl vocal harmonies is your thing, then you totally gotta check out Born Again from Alabama's Backseat Virgins . I can only describe them as something like a cross between The Queers, Squirtgun, and Teen Idols, but a little rawer and more lo-fi sound. You know, three chord pop punk with lyrics about girls and trying to get into their pants. Typical and not terribly original, but (at times) pretty damn catchy. MP3 | Backseat Virgins - [...]
