"Noisy 4-track pop-rock with a very New Zealand-y bouquet, quick and melodious with a careening vocal performance. B-Side is a basher with a more distinct garage-beat and some high-pitched lead squeals. Nothing fancy, but very enjoyable in its no-nonsense delivery. A concise racket that hits its target in the red and manages to be sneakily catchy to boot. No contrived gimmickry, no trendy moves, just a well executed rock'n'roll record here folks." - Termbo

"Reports are currently my favorite (unashamed/unabashed) disciples of Guided By Voices (sorry High Strung), and you can really hear it in the ascending vocal melodies. The music on the other hand, is more like an agitated GBV (or Arlo, for those in the know), influenced by a slanted form of punk Pollard would rarely touch. I enjoy the fusion, as there seems to be both slop and tightly wound dynamics to what they do as a band. The b-side, “Attleboro Trails,” mines a similar bop but its groundwork is purely – what’s the word here? – choogling in the way Zen Guerilla or Delta 72 would work a white-funk groove, except sterilized and dripping in echo. It’s not what you think. They actually don’t play out of character -- it’s simply a nice diversion to their already increasing profile in shitpop centers." - World of Wümme

"At long last, a new Reports track has arrived like a flaming aircraft through the very roof of the Internet. Fans of white noise, echo, and post-everything pop that's scratchy and catchy as hell will wreck many an earbud to this treat." - The Boston Phoenix

" "Bill Wyman" busts along at a breakneck pace, the crap-fi recording offset with reverb in a charming way that would recall the Wedding Present meets Blondie ca. "Dreaming" if neither party had the backing to make the records they did. It’s a great song that overcomes its rendering, one which is more suited to the bashing flipside “Attleboro Trailers,” all understatedly sassy single-minded riffage, the kind that the Fall or the Velvets would rely on. This is a big step forward from their already fantastic Mosquito Nets album, and I hope they continue to surprise." - Still Single

"Blast Off Motherfucker! is a reissue of the second of the band’s cassettes, the originals likely decaying in the hands of a couple of dozen people. It’s been seen fit for vinyl release over a decade later, and it’s aged right into the times we’re in, urgent despondence you can’t fake. Named in honor of Peter Laughner, they played like Beat Happening as the Dead C., or maybe a more lit up Supreme Dicks or Pink Reason, indie pop songs slowed down to a crawl with thudding toms, all the brightness blotted out with sluggo catharsis. It’s fucking wild, is what it is, wide open and leaving nothing to reason (any bands around today with the courage to write a song like “Sodomy. Yes!” please stand up). If you’re trying to keep up with as many of these records as you can, this one should go to the top of your list. More reissues have been planned and I hope they see the light of day. There’s only 300 copies of this, they’re cheap, and they’re moving fast. It’s somewhat painful for me to listen to this and admit that, as a 20 year old, I probably didn’t get it. Kids are fucking stupid sometimes. This one is so good." - Still Single

Peaches is a smoothcoat BC mix. She's very low shedding, which her foster mom thinks is a big plus, especially in the springtime. Peaches has all the smarts of a Border Collie but with a very, very mellow personality. She's one of those dogs that is always enthusiastic about whatever it is her person wants to do...

Want to sit on the couch and watch baseball all day? Great! I'll sit next to you and help you eat popcorn.

Want to get some yard work done? Great! I'll quietly hang out in the yard and enjoy the sun.

Want to go for a ride someplace? Great-I love the car.

Want to go enjoy the dog park? Awesome-my foster mom says I'm the perfect dog park dog. I get along with everyone and never get into any trouble (unlike my foster sisters!)

Want to leave the dog park? Fine by me, I'll trot ahead of you to the car.

Want to sleep in this morning? Aaaah, snuggle snuggle.

Peaches is just about the perfect dog all around. Sadly, she was given up, after spending her entire life with the same family, for growling at a 4 year old child who was chasing her and pulling her tail (she lived peacefully with the 5 year old). She was given up to a good shelter, but poor Peaches went into "shelter shock." She stopped eating and was a nervous wreck. The shelter contacted NEBCR because they saw what a great dog she was and also saw how quickly she was spiraling down.

She now has mild separation anxiety which sometimes happens to dogs after a traumatic event like losing a family and a stay in a shelter. Her separation anxiety manifests itself by shaking and pacing and a lot of whining and barking at the window that starts after her person leaves.

The good news is separation anxiety is very curable with patience and behavioral training. She's doing a good job with her foster family and her new family will need to work with her to make sure she continues to improve. She also is fine staying at a "cageless" boarding facility. In fact, the live-in caretaker there inquired about adopting her!

Peaches could go to a multi-dog home or live in single dog luxury. We're saying no kids under 10 but would consider very dog savvy kids and parents. She seems completely at ease with children. She would do best with a family who's around a lot, at least at first, to help ease her transition. Leaving her with friends or doggie daycare also works. She really is an easy-going girl.

A positive based dog class (tricks, rally, agility, freestyle) is recommended after her adoption. She would love to do agility for fun and has been introduced to agility obstacles and clicker training.

Peaches is being fostered in eastern Massachusetts. - NEBCR
