Black vinyl with insert

Squirtgun sprouted from the fertile farm land of Indiana in the Fall of 1993. They began recording almost immediately, and signed with Lookout! Records soon after. Squirtgun’s first release, the EP Shenanigans, hit the streets in the Spring of 1995, with their debut self–titled full–length appearing that Fall. This full–length CD contained the song “Social”, which was featured later that same year in the opening credits of the Kevin Smith movie Mallrats, and the song “Make It Up” featuring guest vocals by Green Day’s Mike Dirnt. Squirtgun hail back to a time when pop-punk was a breath of fresh air, not original of course, but it was refreshing nonetheless. Squirtgun has a quirky style, coupled with crooned warbly-sung songs that cause a surge spastic joy within me. to back up the silliness, they occasionally write songs with sharp social critique. but in the end i still love carefree songs about ‘welcome back kotter’ and field trips on sunny afternoons. i guess it helps me regurgitate whatever bit of nostalgia i hold. Light-hearted, fun, but not too original
