Like an overlooked, unmastered B-side for one of those Yellow Pills power pop compilations, Punks On Mars, aka Ryan Howe, pay tribute to an era when free-spirited riffing was as much a mainstay as skinny ties and geometric sunglasses. The differences lie where those power pop bands towards the middle of the '80s preferred glossy production. Punks On Mars' use of production only serve to thicken their sound, melding voices, drums and pogo-guitar licks into a candy-coated, pop picnic. --Ryan Ellis, Weekly Tape Deck
