Every note on Fresh rot could carry a footnote identifying its source - TELEVISION being a major inspiration. As churning guitars generate jagged melodies, singer Kevin Richard plays the sleazy punk poet, hiding his sensitive side behind a sneering facade. Shameless recycling doesn't keep the Chicago quartet's second album from being great fun, however. Describing the shady practices of bad boys and girls, Private school and Mattress are smart, catchy, albeit tattered, pop tunes. And when Richard chants, We are free, it's easy to share in his wild-eyed euphoria.

Thanks a million for pointing me at this band, it's absolute fantastic. Link is dead, but no problem... I found it elsewhere.
While searching through my archives I actually found their 2nd album "Lose Your Illusion, Too" (downloaded in 2009), but never heard it and the band was not on my radar at all.
Cheers my friend, stay safe!
