As Heard On Little Steven’s Underground Garage

Pre-Order/Pre-Save The LP Here

10 Tracks Of Pure Power Pop for Wow People!”Pure power pop joy in the vein of an artist like Fountains of Wayne. It sounds like the kind of power pop that was made in the 90’s that was inspired by the 60’s. It’s undeniably catchy and poppy, but with a little of that 90’s alternative rock edge to it. Joy Buzzer are crushing it right now.”-  If It’s Too Loud

NYC’s premiere purveyors of Power Pop, Joy Buzzer, will release ‘Pleased To Meet You,’ their first LP for Wicked Cool Records, on October 25.
