2nd Grade // Scheduled Explosions

Pop songs may only last a couple minutes, but Philly based songwriter Peter Gill knows they can create a universe. 2nd Grade’s second outing of lo-fi goodness bursts with power pop grandeur and memorable hooks, communicating a potent nostalgia in its immediacy. If there’s any justice in the world, Scheduled Explosions is destined to be a college radio classic.

Highlights include the potent “Triple Bypass In B-Flat,” aqueous “Ice Cream Social Acid Test,” “Made Up My Own Mind,” and tuneful closer “I Wanna Be On Your Mind.”
