CD Review: McRackins – Eggzit

McRackins – “Eggzit”
(Cheapskate Records)

Sort of the Canadian version of Blink-182 (and here you thought it was Sum 41, didn’t you?), the McRackins have been knocking out pop punk tunes for nearly 15 years now. They have this thing about puns revolving around eggs (see album title for example), dress up in costume, and play songs that probably veer a little closer to old-school power pop than they do actual punk rock.

Catchy tunes that run the usual pop punk gamut: relationships (“He Said She Said”, “Divided In Two”), drinking (“Fucked Up”), and the usual one or two tracks that are either silly (“Gumparella”) or borderline offensive (“Junk in the Trunk”). In essence, your usual juvenile ridiculousness based around three chords and sing along choruses.
