A love letter, of sorts

To the Ergs!:

Ending your pop-punk cd with an eighteen-minute long guitar feedback freakout is amazing. Please continue to make music, especially if it means you will at some point come through my town. Upstairs / Downstairs has been the soundtrack to the last few days here at the Nuthouse, to say nothing of your sweet-ass rockin’ split with the Grabass Charlestons (out now on No Idea Records – go buy it).

To the Ergs! record label, Dirtnap:

Please continue to put out music such as the Exploding Hearts, the Gloryholes, Dirtbike Annie, and the Ergs! The power-pop perfection inherent in these artists is what gets me through the day. Every time I have to listen to another shit-ass indie band, crappy laptop electronic act, or white boy backpack rapper, I can come back to your bands and rock out, smiling like an Irishman let loose in the Guinness plant.

The Epoxies are pretty damn sweet, too.
