The Ataris are on to something. Mind you, it's pretty much the same something that Blink 182, and Millencollin (and the Teen Idols before them), were on to. Despite the predictability of the lyrics, the music is solid and the tunes catchy. Kung Fu owes much to this band for dragging them back into the limelight that has been lacking since the Vandals Christmas album. Old School punkers will appreciate the classic punk, four-chord simple tunes - and the New School will rave on about the teenie-bopper, lost-love lyrics. Nothing outstanding - but a solid effort for a young band with a bright future…
