On their latest EP, The Young Rochelles covered Phantom Maggot, a classic from Lillingtons’ sci-fi masterpiece pop punk record Death By Television. Apparently, that set the band on route to further explore of the galaxy, because on their new EP Interstellar Communication Young Rochelles leave all planetary boundaries behind. Listening to the four songs on the EP, I can fully imagine The Young Rochelles in a space ship on a mission to distribute the pop punk virus across the universe.
My favorite song here is Beyond The Sun. The contrast between the sunny and upbeat melody and the lyrics (“I Wanna Leave The Planet For A While”) gives me a chuckle and chokes me up every damn time.
The four-song Interstellar Communication EP is out now through four labels: Hey Pizza Records (US), Endless Detention Records (AU), I Buy Records (IT), and Dumb Records (JP).
