We were in love with Miniature Tigers’ new record, Cruel Runnings even before we heard it, as front man Charlie Brand described the inspiration for it as “something like Weezer’s Blue Album — not exactly the album, but the feeling of listening to that album at age whatever.” Swoon! Indeed, much like Weezer’s classic debut, the record’s sticky hooks and breezy power-pop punch speak to our inner teenager and make it a nearly perfect summer record. Catch Miniature Tigers at Signal Kitchen in Burlington this Friday, July 11, with Finish Ticket and You Know Ono.
