The Americans are getting ready to elect themselves a new president this year. What better time for the Presidents of the United States of America to release a new album? It’s called “These Are The Good Times People” and they’ve got my vote!

These guys have been a great source of feelgood songs ever since they dropped singles like “Lump” and “Peaches” in the nineties. And that’s no different on their new album. “These Are The Good Times People” opens with first single “Mixed Up SOB”, keeps up the melodic upbeatness through “Ladybug” and the witty “Bad Times”, makes fun of French girls in the appropriately titled “French Girl” and goes out with a shitload more addictive sunsoaked poprock songs. Now if only I could make the sun shine, I’d be all set for the day!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
