Oh, there’s a lot of fun to be had here, though it’s tempered with no small amount of appropriate cynicism and some good old fashioned angst. The Hasbros are a Queens, NY band that play with alt-indie-power-pop-punk tropes, but they have the chops and the songwriting chops to carry it off. The likes of the Replacements, early REM, Soul Asylum and Weezer raise their pained, melodic heads at various points on songs such as “Conspiracy Theory,” as the Hasbros toy with your emotions (see what we did there?). The band has opened for the Spin Doctors and They Might Be Giants, which makes all the sense in the world.
