Zap Dragon and the Attack is a garage punk/power pop band from Orlando, Florida, who hit all the right spots all the time. It's hard to explain exactly what their sound is but really the only important part is that it's constantly catchy and constantly good. Musically the band is heavily reminiscent of 90's power pop/garage punk bands like Weezer and The Presidents of the United States of America, if those bands singers were instead replace by a man shrieking self deprecating and political/socio-political lyrics. And really, those lyrics are what truly shine through with this band. The lyrics always carry a healthy dose of cynicism, which, for some reason is oddly appealing. Mix that with an extreme amount of self deprecation and a dark, dry sense of humor and you start to get the picture of what this band is truly about. If you like Weezer but also hate yourself, this band comes highly recommended.
For fans of: Weezer, Jay Reatard, The Presidents of the United States of America, The Thermals
