I can't really describe this, but I loved it the minute I pressed 'play.' I even asked Karoline to help, since her musical descriptions are usually completely out of left field - she said she thought WHITE PAGES could have been on one of those '90 Very Small Records comps, and I said she was crazy, but then she said that they reminded her of THE GRUMPIES even though they don't sound like THE GRUMPIES, and fukk me if that isn't exactly what I was looking for. The painful lazy lilt in the vocals, the aggressive drunken lurch in everything else...I'm obviously not doing this tape justice, but Boston's WHITE PAGES have something special here. I bet at least two of them wear glasses.

thank you for the kind words! I didn't expect to see this on here when I checked your blog this morning. Also, two of us do indeed wear glasses.
