The best pop record out there, hands down, belongs to David Aaronoff & the Details. Your First Time with the Details on Lunch Records, will not be the last time you buy one of their cds. This record is loaded with catchy, smart, and addictive two-and-a-half-minute tunes (the way pop songs were meant to be written!) that will instantly remind you of that late 70's/early 80's generation of organ-popping, guitar-slashing, pop fun bands like the Specials and the Clash made so popular.

Aaronoff is the ex-guitarist of Boston-faves the Shods, and he clearly has the songwriting gift of accurately relating the Mod lifestyle to wax. This is a no-brainer - Your First Time with the Details will fit nicely on your shelf between the The Jam's Sound Effects and Elvis Costello's My Aim is True.

If you can ever get it out of your cd player.
