The first DERANGED offering from Sudbury's STATUES, but not the last. For those unaware, this trio has already released two excellent albums and is currently working on a third for later 2008. In the interim, these 4 tracks will need to hold those craving another album's worth of STATUES' infectious power punk. Same bodies, same faces features 3 new exclusive originals and a GG Allin cover of 'Dead or Alive'. Here is the MRR review of their 2nd album -Wow, a welcome new discovery for me. Mining the same updated pop-punk/power-pop/mod-punk vein as SMALLTOWN or current faves (and co-Canucks) TRANZMITORS, with the hint of a less snotty BRIEFS and a literary JAWBREAKER-esque quality to the lyrics. Great stuff, recorded well and with great catchy choruses. Sounds authentic but not retro.
