Description
HEY YOU! Get a whiff of this: Scratch N Sniff by The Whiffs the second album by Kansas Citys foremost power pop foursome is upon us via Dig! Record Co (US) & Bachelor Records (EU). Not unlike their first album (Another Whiff), and as rock critic Jon Harrison heralds in the albums liner notes: this sophomoric offering provides all of the things you love about The Whiffs. Now, if youre asking yourself what do I love about the Whiffs? Heres a clue: SONGS. You love The Whiffs songs! And now Scratch N Sniffs got 13 new boffo numbers brimming with the hook-laden, never-far-from-the-bar pub-rock snarl The Whiffs nail everytime.
The Whiffs are less recording artists than a band of journeymen, from the drums Jake Cardwell (C&C Drum Co.) built-by-hand, to Joey Rubbishs home recording studio (Club Sandwich). Its only natural Scratch N Sniff is a homegrown production from the floor (tom) up, and was recorded in the bands living room. The songs are all their own too. Whether penned by Cameron (Rory), Campbell (Zach) or Rubbish (Joey), they all stink of The Whiffs broken-in power pop confectionery. A close listen will reveal the cracks of many-a-can and roommates laughing at vocal takes. As such, everyones invited to Scratch N Sniff and dive in!
Recommended if you DIG!: The Whiffs previous output, Stiff Records, The Mats, The Rubs and any era of the Fab Four!
