The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
“digger”
The coolest thing to do in eastern Pennsylvania a couple of years ago was to go to a Weston/Digger show. Weston took a mediocre, overplayed style of punk and made it great. Digger came right behind with more of the same – super catchy hooks and feel good songs. Lovers of the old, more upbeat Weston should seek this record out immediately.
