Instantly catchy songs like "Lecherous Parasite", and "Wanna Be With You" are so much fun they border on parody, which is no crime in a genre so unavoidably anachronistic.
Recorded by the band itself on four-track the home recording quality suits the bratty, rough-n-tumble edge of the music perfectly. When this kind of music goes into a big recording studio it loses its vitality. The album was mixed and mastered by Montreal go-to guy Harris Newman – he brought out the best in the recordings and the record ended up sounding just right.
If you're a fan of fun garage-punk you're going to love The Milky Ways. Fuck the White Stripes, this is the real deal. Recommended.
