Don Giovanni Signs Mechanical Canine
Seeing as we dropped a review of the ever-emo band Say Anything, it only makes sense that we check in on Philly’s emo-punk scene with some love for Mechanical Canine. Today, the group announce they’ve signed with Don Giovanni Records, offering up a spirit pop punk number that warrants a cranked up stereo. If you get it loud enough, you likely will feel some familiar vibes going through this, as the band seem to be channeling a more emo version of “Kids in America,” though I can’t tell if they’re coming at it from the Muffs or Kim Wilde side here. Still, the chorus and the drum fills in that section add some rocking punch that supersedes any like-mindedness…and its still a fun as hell tune to crank up loud. Keep any eye out for their new LP, To My Chagrin!
