2007 was a great year for music. It was an even greater year for Lujo Records, who placed themselves on the map with some great bands: Look Mexico, The Dark Romantics, Pomegranates, The Out_Circuit (most of these bands I still need to play/review!). One of the strongest releases on Lujo Records came right after Look Mexico. Mouse Fire’s debut, Wooden Teeth, came onto the scene turning heads of music fans left and right. Their addictive hooks and creative riffs are enough to make any coinsure of fine music wet his/her pants. Their style is in the same vein as Cursive or Minus the Bear, but a bit more catchy. These songs will stick in your brain.

Wooden Teeth is definitely the result of a band that is passionate about what they do. Every song seems to be meticulously crafted and are not the result of a band throwing ideas together. Each song stands on it’s own as original and not a carbon copy of other songs on the album.

Lujo Records is building an extremely strong roster, but Mouse Fire stand out in front as one of the most innovative bands on this respected label.

Stand Out Tracks:

“This is How I Throw My Slider”
“To Celebrate a Suicide”
“Chicago Ain’t The Answer”
