This is going to be a slim write-up, but I think you'll want to take a couple of minutes to download this. Helmet Boy. Knew nothing of them until a few weeks ago, but saw a listing for this album on Ebay and went for it. For a power pop band on a major label, I'm stunned to find nary a mention of these guys save for catalog listings of online retailers. Heck, even the always-on-the-ball archivists at Power Pop Criminals and PVAc to 44.1 kHz overlooked this one. Granted, Helmet Boy don't approach the deftly crafted skill of 20/20 or Shoes, I'm hearing a bit of a Rubinoos influence permeating this album, along with some of Cheap Trick's gentler, early album moments. Maybe a little Rundgren in here too, but just a smidgen. In other words, nothing too heavy. Enjoy, and feel free to share your thoughts.
