Alex Kasznel & the Board of Directors released the delightful Flightless LP last summer, and now they’re back with two new songs, collected on the Kitchencore 7″. You might have different expectations from the corporate-tinged band name and tie logo, but their ‘pop punk for grownups’ (RIYL Green Day) has its heart in the right place: “These songs were meant to motivate, not placate // These words were meant to provoke thought, not dictate” (from A-side How to End World Hunger by Getting a Mohawk and Frowning in Front of a Brick Wall). The catchy B-side You Today is for those who want to sing along.

All proceeds from the digital version will be donated to the Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen and Social Center in the band’s hometown of Cincinnati. The vinyl versions—a limited run of only six—are not for sale, but will be raffled off to fans who can prove they volunteer. It’s for a good cause, but there’s nothing wrong with it musically either.

Kitchencore is out now digitally and on very limited 7″ vinyl.
