The Aches fly way under the radar and that's a shame because they're a fine pop-punk band, in a 1980s sort of way, not in an asymmetrical haircut and eyeliner sort of way. Could it be the forgettable name? Or maybe they just aren't in with the right crowd? They could all be total assholes too for all I know, but that doesn't change the fact that their new album "Slit up" (on , vinyl-only) is 100% solid. Opening cut "Dancing syllables" establishes the blueprint: jagged, danceable rhythms; anxious vocals; a big chorus with an inclusive (though somewhat cryptic) message and gang-vocals. Oh, and bits of skronky sax for extra post-punkish flavor. It's catchy, it's fun, it's got just the right ratio of angst vs hooks. Multiply by ten and you got yourself an album. Definitely deserving a bigger audience.

I don't think these guys have a label right now which is kind of a shame since they're actually pretty good. RIYL Still Little Fingers, The Jam, The Buzzcocks.
