The Popsters have gone back to basics with this release. The
straight up pop punk sound that put this band on the map is back in full
force! Two Minutes has both a more matured songwriting style that The
Popsters have gained by way of time and experience, and the guts of what
makes a pop song catchy - strong, simple hooks! The b-side features the
semi-obscure Dee Dee Ramone song Runaway from one of his last albums,
I Hate Freaks Like You. It's a great choice for covering one of the
most prolific songwriters of punk rock. The cover stands up to the original
and might even surpass it in quality - Dee Dee Ramone never did have the
best singing voice (but Dee Dee King sure did!). This record also features
unmistakable cover art drawn by Manuel of the Manges - probably the biggest
Dee Dee Ramone fan on the planet. |
