Production edit

Bring Your Own Stereo is a loose concept album about frontman Jimi Haha's ex-girlfriend.[9] The album was produced by Jim Wirt; it was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge.[10]

Critical reception edit

The Indianapolis Star called the album "an eclectic mix of slacker rock, ska, tame punk and acoustic pop with faux hip-hop grooves."[1] The Charleston Daily Mail wrote: "Owing as much to '80s New Wave pop as to the band's usual blitz of guitar-heavy, slacker-ska, the Maryland quartet has turned down the crunch and aimed for loftier goals: Songs based on melody rather than guitar riffs."[11]
