Long Beach power-pop rascals Tijuana Panthers have returned with the first video off their upcoming album Semi-Sweet. “Tony’s Song” is a monstrously catchy two-minute rager that recharges the polished punx in vintage pop-snarlers like the Only Ones, the Real Kids, or Generation X. The video, hilariously, has way more budget than any punk band has a right to use, ending up as an awesome Grindhouse Zorro where lead Panther Chad Wachtel duels at dawn for the hand of Duchess Francesca!
Swallow this down in one gulp, cop the single on iTunes, visit one of their four SXSW shows, and check out the self-explanatory Semi-Sweet when it drops in May on Innovative Leisure.
