Your life's a joke with no punchline

we all have hooks for hands

It's spring again! I think I mention this on Robots every year, but I can't help it: spring music just may be the best kind. And some contenders always come to mind, most namely Modest Mouse's "Float On," "Fresh Feeling" by Eels, anything by Go! Team. Spring songs are ones that just sound like renewal, like everybody waking up.
This is what I think of when I hear We All Have Hooks For Hands.

We All Have Hooks For Hands - The Man Trying To Outfox Us All.

Fun! What I really want is for these Minneapolis South Dakotans - a big-ass collective on the Afternoon Records label - to tour with Mates Of State and Tilly And The Wall. It would be a cute popfest.

(I should put a disclaimer here that Afternoon Records owner Ian Anderson and I write for the same blog, so we're internet buddies. But he passed this record on to me, and it's objectively awesome.)

The debut of We All Have Hooks For Hands, The Pretender, comes out on April 17. You can pre-order it from Afternoon Records.

Just an FYI, the band is from Sioux Falls.

Hey Ari,
Thanks, I've updated it.

Why does it make me think of Camper Van Beethoven? Not a bad thing, but I was kind of hoping to be blown away. On the other, that's the same with the beginning of spring annually I suppose.

Love the verification formula!
