The debut album
and tour from Robert Pollard's new band!
"This is this you know..."
Though you'll notice some subtle prog flourishes and acoustic
strums, Brown Submarine is a pop punk album, made by and for
kids who've worn out the grooves on their Cheap Trick, Alice
Cooper, Wire and dBs records. While Pollard has stretched out
post-GBV
, experimenting on each of his diverse and unique solo records,
Boston Spaceships rock hard, have fun and drink Miller Lite.
Without undue hyperbole, Pollard is penning fantastic pop songs
in a style no longer fashionable, perhaps we should say, never
fashionable. Makes no difference, on Brown Submarine, Pollard's
charged up and sings his ass off.
Mr. Pollard was so enthusiastic about this album that he's decided
to play his first proper club tour in two years. This from a
guy who hates flying, goes bananas sitting in the van, and who
has turned down tours with Radiohead and the Strokes. Give Brown
Submarine a spin or two - it'll make you feel like a kid again,
too.
Or go ahead, ignore Boston Spaceships and keep yourself busy
finding the next Vampire Weekend, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah or
Ned's Atomic Dustbin. But if you save this album on your shelf
and pull it out a few years from now, we guarantee it will make
you very very happy...

CHRIS SLUSARENKO (Takeovers,
Guided By Voices, Svelt, Sprinkler)
JOHN MOEN (Perhapst, Decemberists, Jicks, Elliott
Smith, Dharma Bums)
