Featuring members of Seville and Dashboard Confessional, the Agency don't stray too far from the emo-tinged, power punk pop/rock that the aforementioned bands are known for. At least that's the first impression the listener gets. A song like the opening "Walking Disaster" is strong and brimming with catchy riffs, but it's not exactly a memorable or jaw-dropping song. Led by the tandem of Mike Marsh and Chris Drueke, the group falls somewhere in between bands like My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday. However, "Found" shows a lighter, more melodic arrangement that doesn't quite work as well. This is refined with much better results during the angular, dance-rock ditty "I'm Innocent" which is closely similar in parts to Forward Russia!. This is returned to somewhat during the pretty "Mary Mourn" which could have been picked from XTC singer Andy Partridge's pocket. However, the band seems to truly hit their stride with the radio-friendly and extremely tight "Picture" that has the huge, dramatic chorus to boot. Perhaps the sleeper pick on Turn is a very decent pop song titled "Chasing" that has a great melody and just as fine guitar work. The Agency takes things down a few notches with the piano-fueled "Clean Water" that sounds like a distant cousin of Tears for Fears. ~ Jason MacNeil

Poptown Records has preserved Halloween for us all on their newest compilation release THE MORGUE THE MERRIER so you can be frightened all year 'round!This creepy collection has 15 original tracks from Richie Scarlet (with Dennis Dunaway & Neal Smith from the original Alice Cooper Group), Psycho Charger, The Dead Elvi, The Scared Stiffs, Calabrese, Bombshell, Stark, Spooky Pane and the Migraines, Push 13, The Blame, Tripwave, The Subway Surfers, Bottle of Smoke, Steel Rodeo and Ugly Friend. Not all the music is monster themed, but there's enough there to scare the fangs off of any vampire. The disc opens with "Midnight Spookshow" by Calabrese and Push 13 closes the disc reminding you that there's "Always Room In Hell". In between is an assortment of horror rock, rock-a-billy, psycho-billy, psychedelic and straight out street punk!Several of these bands, including The Scared Stiffs and the Subway Surfers, will be performing at Poptown's Record Release party for THE MORGUE THE MERRIER happening on Saturday November 19 at the Delancey ( theDelancey ). Open to the public, Poptown promises lots of other special guests, drink specials and great giveaways. Also be sure to catch The Scared Stiffs on Spike TV this Halloween weekend co-hosting a monster movie marathon with the Captain Morgan Rum Pirate and a squad of scantily clad Go-Go Ghouls!Equally as entertaining as the music on this CD is the scary packaging that includes original artwork by John Clark. In the days of vinyl, before we were able to download music samples, every once in a while you would risk buying a record based on the cool cover. This is one of those albums!THE MORGUE THE MERRIER is now available on line at PoptownRecords where you can sample songs from the album and learn more about all the contributing bands!Here's what the critics say..."Ya know, I've been sweating it out and worried if Halloween was gonna come and go without a cool, spooky compilation. The wait is over!! Poptown Records has just released a compilation to fulfill my sick needs, The Morgue The Merrier. I wouldn't normally expect Poptown to put out something like this but I am not complaining; I'm happier than a pig in shit! ...Now, this is what I'm talkin' 'bout; good ole spooky, Rockabilly with a slick rhythm section. In a strange way it reminds me of Roky Erickson, which is a plus. The house band of Hell's trailer park, Psychocharger, also make their presence felt... Nobody does Industrial styled Rockabilly like this and I mean nobody, Psychocharger RULE! ...Richie Scarlet, along with Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith (Original ...
