Noise By Numbers is a Pop-Punk juggernaut from right here in Chicago with their debut Asian Man Records release “yeah, whatever…”! It just goes to show that with this All-Star cast of musicians (Dan Schafer of Screeching Weasel, Methadones, and the Riverdales on lead vocals, Neil Hennessy from the Lawrence Arms on Drums for this recording, Jeff Dean of The Bomb on guitar, and Rick Uncapher of Textbook & Woolworthy fame on bass) you just can’t go wrong. “yeah, whatever…” is the album I have been waiting a long time for… from the first track “17 on The Wayside” touching on the way things used to be… even mention to my old stopping grounds here in Chicago at Punkin Donuts… to another stand out track of “Paris In September” will have you hoppin around like a crack head on fire… to the tune “Waiting For The Train” once again talking about Chicago… and I felt it sum up my life now as I am on the Blue Line from Logan Square and how Wicker Park has 
become Yuppified Douchebags of Lincoln Park on Trust Funds Part 2… oops, I meant gentrified…. to the closing track of “Northern Lights” yet another song you can put on a Mix Tape for your special lady friend. So, if you are looking for some good music to pump into your skull while taking the Blue line downtown to get your ass moving from day to day, or even music to blast at your house when you want to bounce around the room to annoy your old ass neighbors the floor below… this is the one you want to pick up! Nothing too crazy here… just kick ass Pop-Punk!
