Limp

Third time is definitely a charm for Limp. This self-titled affair, which was three years in the making, finds the newly streamlined trio rediscovering the inspirational music youth. Drawing from ’80s power-pop new wave acts like the Cars, Adam and the Ants and the Plimsouls, Limp augments their simple pop-punk sound with some super hooks and adventurous vocals. No longer just another Fat Wreck sound-alike band. (Honest Don's, www.honestdons.com)
