This overlooked album from the 2000's Dunedin underground is a high point in John White's recording career.

The nine relatively short tracks contain some of the most compelling power pop one could hope to hear. Underpinned by Stef Animal's compelling bass lines, John White's fuzzed out guitar encapsulates all that was fantastic and marvellous about 2000's indie pop. An unrecognised NZ classic.

"For a band that's all over the map (with members scattered around New Zealand and the world), Mestar have managed to retain a tight sound that belies their geographic disparity. Following on from 2002's Porcupine, this rather more absurdly titled album sticks to the knitting of creating fuzzy-toned power pop and alternative rock. Solid, dynamic and yet quirky enough to sit outside the envelope, this is not a bland radio-ready sound. It is a set of songs that is aching to be performed live; nine tracks that burst out ready to rock and are full of lo-fi indie stylings and wonderful Kiwi colloquialisms (Konked Out).
It's a very short album - but some of the best albums are, and that'll just give you more of a chance to play it again and again. I recommend thrashing this album three times in a row every time you put it on the stereo. Very soon you'll love it."
