Boss Martians
“The Set-Up ”
(MuSick Recordings)
This is a melodic indie rock album that strays into Elvis Costello-like territory on “Walk Away” and “He’ll Be Around”. So, this is pretty accessible stuff. This may be garage punk, but the garage has a new automatic door, is heated and freshly painted with everything in ship-shape order. This group has left its surf-rock roots behind for something like polished Joe Jackson, witness the steppin’ out on “Oh, Angela”.
