In related news, on June 14th, The Scutches will begin a tour in support of Ten Songs, Ten Years. The ten-day trek kicks off with the record release show at Luluβs in Brooklyn and covers Montreal, Chicago and Philly, as well as a few other Midwest and East Coast shows. Itβs also worth noting that the band will be opening for Teenage Bottlerocket, Nothington and Masked Intruder in NYC on August 22nd.
Influenced by the likes of pop-punk heavyweights such as The Queers and The Methadones β not to mention the sweet sounds of legends like Buddy Holly and Richie Valens β The Scutches has been the primary songwriting vehicle for Vincenzo Hoffer (guitar, bass, vocals) and Rich da Silva (drums, backup vocals) over the course of the last decade. Ten Songs, Ten Years is an virtual pop-punk classic in every way; from the instantly memorable choruses and undeniably infectious harmonies to the propulsive rhythm section that pushes along the blissful power-chord buzz of the guitars. The lyrics cover standard themes of love and heartbreak and just about everything in between, but Hofferβs clever songwriting is delivered with just the right combination of sincerity and bite, keeping things interesting and fun throughout the albumβs 26 minute run time. Thereβs nothing complicated about Ten Songs, Ten Years but that wonβt keep this pop-punk gem it from finding a permanent spot in your collection next to other great records from the genreβs forefathers and contemporaries alike.
