Can someone explain why mods sound like a bad-ass version of the Monkeys? Not that it’s really bad, but just kind of funny. Like if the guys from the Monkeys were trying to look so tough outside during lunch period. Anyways, Comet Gain is a mod band that put out a pretty good mod record, but I like them best on the songs that have tambourines and something funny. I’m not sure anybody could dance to this music, but I like it as a replacement to my video game’s soundtrack. Except for the tambourine songs, which are cool. And Kathleen Hanna does a cameo, which is wild, and sounds like old Bikini Kill Hanna.
