Hitch Your Station Wagon To A Star

Editorial Reviews
CMJ 1996
"...coy and self-deprecating and entertaining" (about "College Radio Won't Play This, It's Not On a Major Label")

Folio Weekly 1998
"What do you get when you cross an attorney with a theater geek?...a pretty damn funny CD." (about "Edsel")

Album Description
Trenchcoat Club--the Athens, Georgia duo that brought you "Theme from Knight Rider" and "Where's Me Gold?"--are back with their third collection of eclectic college pop. Originally hailing from Athens, Georgia, the Trenchcoat Club offer offbeat pop songs in the tradition of They Might Be Giants, Ween, Beck, the Magnetic Fields and your favorite band. From the opening sample of "Monday Was a Soundgarden Song")("We urge you...to turn off your radio now") to the hard-driving Old Navy/Matchbox 20 dis-fest of "Indie Rock is Dead", "Hitch" showcases a band that cuts across virtually every musical genre, all from the comfort of the guest bedrooms of their apartments.

Whether lamenting lost love or the inexplicable length of the average Soundgarden tune, "Hitch" is one Matlock album. Check it out and figure out what that expression means. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. Sometimes bitter. Always $11.99.

MUCH Better Than Some Other Music.......2002-05-15

I don't know much about music, but I do know trenchcoats. That said, I'd like to whole-heartedly recommend this wonderful album. Like a drunken cardiologist, these songs will stumble into your life and capture your heart. "Hitch Your Station Wagon To A Star" is FAR better than [believed]... Buy this album!

There's just something about snare drums.......2002-02-01

First of all, what's up Akron! Okay, I ususally hate writing reviews, and in fact never have, but in this case, I just...wow. I have to be completely honest and tell you guys and girls that I feel this album needs to be heard. It was as if the people who made it, these two hilarious Jewish guys, somehow forced me into saying, by their hooks and beats and lyrics (fly me to the moon on Uri Geller's spoon), "hey you turkeys, this is what everyone with a major record contract is trying to say but instead just forgets to shower."

As a particle physicist, I spend my days studying the fundamental particles that make up matter. Because the Trenchcoat Club are comprised of quarks and electrons, they are no different than any other humans, even ones who are members of musical groups. And yet, somehow these two men are so much more. In this scientist's opinion, they're matter that *matters*. On this, their 3rd CD, the Trenchcoat Club reveal more of their atomic makeup, coming at you with musical leptons like "The Ballad of Mr. T" (a folksy ode to TV's 'Inspector Collect') and the Built to Spill-esque "Indie Rock Is Dead." And these leptonic lullabies aren't of the tau and muon particle varities which, due to their cumbersome weight, decay very easily. They're the electron neutrino kind, meaning their quality will hold up even after a hundred listens. So don't listen to such "anti-matter" as Matchbox 20 or Soundgarden. Become a card-carrying member of the coolest and most exclusive club on the planet: the Trenchcoat Club.
