Pop punk's most celebrated purveyors of off-kilter, fart-obsessed anthems sing love songs for the retarded (sailor) tonight, taking to the high seas in the name of pimple-nosed melody and boozy belligerence. Offensive, juvenile, and loutish — but ultimately endearing — the Queers sling speedy licks and complex vocal harmonies that are equally indebted to the self-abasing swagger of the Ramones and the sunny resolve of a Budweiser-soaked Beach Boys. It's the stuff summer booze cruises were made for — but be sure to play it safe: if punk's taught us anything, it's that nothing speeds seasickness like a circle pit.
