Boston quartet Adult Learners are gearing up to release a 7″ single sometime soon, but until then, Demo 25 should do plenty to raise your anticipation. And when I say demo, I mean DEMO — this thing sounds like it was recorded through a toaster in a basement shared with a running washing machine. But that’s part of the charm.

Despite (or because of) its scrappy fidelity, the songs shine. It’s budget garage-pop-punk’n’roll done right — catchy, raw, and full of personality, with the synths and keys adding a neat twist. Definitely a band to watch!
