Its a really lazy way to classify the group but the Boneless Children Foundation are an art-punk band. Im sure a lot of people are going to throw various obscure adjectives at them trying to describe their sound, because thats what writers do. But thats not to say this is a bad record, simply that its really, really hard to define exactly whats going on. Theres a strong Dead Milkmen vibe, especially in the guitar tone and the slightly goofy, nonsensical lyrics. They also most likely listen to a lot of CapN Jazz and Modest Mouse. What Stars For Anyone exude even more than the unorthodox, clever melodies or the quirky lyrics is a sense of irony. They are one of those bands where, as long as you get the joke, youre in for one hell of a ride.
