Clearly there is a theme with song titles like “Please Abduct Me,” “Mars Attacks,” and “Don’t Run, We’re Your Friends” but that cosmic connection keeps the energy and fun running high with The Scaners. The band plays quick, tight and sharp which is why II is an addictive listen along with call outs that typically repeat the title of the song.
In theory, this is an easy record to pull off but delivering at this high catchy plain takes II to the next level. At the end of the day, The Scaners rock this record out and it is the perfect pick up if you are looking for something new and in this genre. Also, who knows – it just may give you right advise should first contact happen!

The Fire Note started to create a simple place that could showcase records that we liked. Nothing more, nothing less. The focus has always been about the album and the experience that a great record creates. The Fire Note Webzine builds on this idea by offering an array of content that is all about the enjoyment of music, its pulse and energizing attitude.
