Album Reviews

Sweatpants Party is the new project led by Kevin Apers of Dutch favorites The Apers. What to expect from this self-titled debut album? A dozen shiny pop punk gems about subjects as diverse as IKEA, a craving for Asian food, Super Mario as well as philosophical musings about the functionalities of an elevator. And of course, a healthy dose of self-deprecation.

Recorded with the help of Jagger Holly’s Jay Dee and Stockkampf’s Frizzante and featuring guest appearances by members of *take a deep breath* The Mugwumps, Ratcliffs, 7 Years Bad Luck, GoMax, Stockkampf and Shirley Maclaines *exhale*, the songs on ‘Sweatpants Party’ once again allow Kevin to show off his ability to write fast-paced, energetic and melodic pop punk tunes that will delight the hearts of fans of Ramones, The Queers, Screeching Weasel and of course, The Apers.
