Behold The Arctopus: The Only Band That Has Homework Assignments
In a time when it seems like the entire history of recorded music is becoming accessible with a minimum of effort, and genre revivals dominate the landscape with a ubiquity that has prompted much critical hand-wringing and even a widely-read book on the subject, it can be tough to locate artists that are truly progressive and forward-looking in their outlook.

The Shirks - The Shirks (Grave Mistake Records)

It’s doubtful there would be any arguments with a stronger roof on a building or a car with more responsive brakes. But when it comes to the construction of rock songs, sometimes worse is better, and The Shirks are an excellent example of this.
