Bunnygrunt's debut LP Action Pants has gotten the deluxe treatment for its thirtieth anniversary. The cuddle-core band St Louis, Missouri, has dug out for unreleased tracks - Eggy Greggy, the two-parts of Maude, Tadpole, and Inanimate Objects that were left of in 1995. Inn hindsight that is quite odd, as they fit in with the mood of the endearing ramshackle poppish punk perfectly - and even with those extra tracks, the runtime of the records barely breaks the 35 minutes runtime.
Lyrically they dared to dream like kids do. Who wouldn't like a piece of clothing enabling them to break the constraints of time and space (Transportation Pants) or felt being attracted to a Criminal Boy, a kid who breaks all the rules and gets away with it? Growing up comes with an awful lot of responsibilities. Dropping the needle of this carefully curated reissue will offer some relief, while going sorting through the bills and might drown out the thoughts about stupid co-workers and event invitations you never asked for.
