Like Nerf Herder, Feable Weiner concoct irresistible punk-pop songs that are equally witty and addictive. Obviously, the powers that be at Doghouse Records got hooked on the band's anthems early, reissuing the group's self-released 2002 debut, Dear Hot Chick, in a revised version. While the disc's unique packaging -- designed to emulate a Trapper Keeper (the notebook of choice in the mid-to-late '80s) -- is sure to grab the attention of folks pining for nostalgia, it's Weiner's contagious, self-deprecating bubblegum punk approach that fun-loving music fans will cling to. Launched by the amusing, driving rocker "Lameface," the Murfreesboro, TN-based outfit's melodic, upbeat approach blows the platinum-selling angst merchants away. Infatuation with a lawyer sparks the adorable, Weezer-esque "Attorneying Me On," but the unbeatable peak of this 11-song, half-hour joyride is the Knack-inspired "San Deem Us Ready." As ridiculous as their moniker might be, Feable Weiner are serious when it comes to hooks and this is a solid debut that adds to the Doghouse legacy created by the Get Up Kids and the All-American Rejects. ~ John D.
