"These Portland-based rockers show plenty of potential. Plutonium Kid starts off with a bang -- an oh-so-tasty Buzzcocks-style drum riff that coils everything up, building up to a high-powered melodic explosion and a super sing-along chorus. It's a catchy, happy throwback to the '80s, with just enough keyboard action in the melody to make it danceable. 1978 is a heartfelt ode that all of us born in that decade can relate to. As vocalist Reggie says, 'I was born in 1978 / I came just a little too late / To ever be a part of anything / Nothing going on.' It's a chip that many music fans of a similar vintage have on their shoulders, and 1978 captures it perfectly. It also has a great beat, as fast and catchy as the Briefs' base work. If Glassine can duplicate Plutonium Kid's success on a full-length, they'll be fending off creepy major label talent scouts before they know it."
