Boston’s Really Great crafts breezy pop punk that preoccupies itself with emo-inflected life problems. Someone get this dude a cold beer and a joint!

Of course, the master of ceremonies Owen Harrelson is in on the joke as you can hear on our highlighted track “All My Problems.” “I don’t have the guts to live my life,” he sings. Thankfully, he is still among the living – so he must have guts enough.

The album has been gestating for eight years. Time enough to get perspective. Music has an amazing power to take an emotional snapshot of times and places, letting you revisit moments you no longer identify with for better or worse. Hopefully, for the better. Extra points for Hadley, MA shout out in “Hadley.”
