I’m not familiar with Enuff’z’Nuff’s discography, but I know this song is a fantastic power pop song. Perhaps the moral of the story is “never […]

I could be a scrooge and mention any number of 80s and 90s indie rock bands Yuck reminds me of. Or I could just shut up and enjoy the music. Think I’ll do that.
Shame there isn’t a video on YouTube that combines both this song and its predecessor, “mashin on the motorway.” On record it makes for quite a headfuck.
