    For all the cutesieness that can subsume this sub-genre, it’s refreshing to see a band that can play it with a little R’n’R swagger and not just as a set-up for condescending kvetching and pink-hued album covers.

    Most of the time, Tough Age make it sound pretty amazing, and to both the head and the heart, these folks stand out from the run of the mill garage punk acts of the new millennium.

    Tough Age does as good a job as anyone at meeting these minimum standards [of garage rock], while crafting few fun pop songs along the way. There’s little enough to separate them from the already-crowded pack, however.

    Tough Age’s self-titled debut has its moments, most of them falling in the album’s front third.
