Mean Jeans-On Mars LP

The Mean Jeans return with their long-awaited follow up to 2009's Are You Serious?. This is a different album, though, more mid-tempo catchier, and poppier (but less "pop punk" if you know what we mean) than their debut. In addition to the standard three piece instrumentation, Mean Jeans On Mars also features, at various times, acoustic guitar, keyboards, drum machines, empty Jaeger bottles and boxes of macaroni played as extra percussion.
