Snap You Like a Twig

Party of One are a tight, angular, three-piece from Minnesota, based around the enigmatic presence of guitarist and songwriter, Eric Fifteen. The lead track taken from their acclaimed debut LP "Caught The Blast," "Snap You Like A Twig" perhaps best exemplifies Party Of One's stance -– intelligent, immediate punk pop, saturated with black humor, and a nasty, misanthropic streak. The B-side, "Star Sky Sierra," is a haunted, bitter epiphany based around a stripped down acoustic guitar, a subtly vengeful meditation on the end of a relationship. Recorded on Eric's 8-track, the music's coarse, immediate DIY approach works with, rather than detracts from, the pop hooks. Party Of One possess a stubborn, wiry strength, as willful to stand alone and celebrate dissent as they are able to write a four-minute pop song.
