Dead Bands Party
A Tribute to oingo Boingo
Indianola Records

Jeff Karbow

If you've seen Weird Science the movie, you've probably heard of Oingo Boingo but just don't know it. And if you do know who Oingo Boingo is I sure as hell hope you don't like them because if you do you should get peed on and shitted on by a big German named Okra. And the same goes for whoever came up with the bright idea for a tribute cd for a TERRIBLE 80's pop band. Seriously how did this idea get conceived? Shooting dope while watching Weird Science? I mean Jesus Christ, the 80's were the worst decade for popular music. And they're called Oingo Boingo for Christ's sake! The label sure as hell better hope that there's a lot of dumb ass kids who like Finch way too much, and stoned out reel big fish hippies. God knows I tried to listen to this but I couldn't make it past track 3. By the time it got to The Matches doing their take on "Violent Love" I wanted to rip my ears off of my head and set them ablaze. So if you're dumb and like any of these bands you might like this (hahahaha yeah go waste your money you fuckers): Clear Static, Lets Go!, The Matches, The Rocky Raccoons, Reel Big Fish, RX Bandits, Hello Goodbye, Plain White T's, Stairwell, Suburban Legends, Over It, The Aquabats, Jessica Burgan, Finch. Worst idea for a cd EVER!
