I've generally avoided writing about I Was A Cub Scout, mainly because they're such an obvious choice for a Lincoln focused music blog. But when this little gem dropped into my inbox this afternoon, I couldn't contain my excitement.

It's a gorgeously bouncy cover of the classic Cure track, prefect for long lazy summer days. Harnessing the same semi-frantic power-pop drumming as their debut album and layering Todd's ever-distinct vocals over the top, IWACS have managed to create something fun and playful, yet ever their own. Totally delicious.
