From the very first track, a ska vibe protrudes from this CD, though I wouldn't necessarily say Mayfair Laundry has jumped on the ska wagon. Scrub is packed so full of hooks & catchy melodies, I have no choice but to label it pop. However, Frank Sandoval's gently recurring rock guitar tears away any hint of commercial cheesiness, and the strong voice of Shannon Woolner well suits the afore mentioned melodies and the clever, tongue-tying lyrics in songs like "Lovely Feet." Listen to "Bridge" and see if you feel the same way about homelessness afterward.
