The Stewart Dolly: “The Frisco Kid”
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Uptempo power pop with some fuzz. A Weezer nod? Absolutely. The Stewart Dolly is out of New Jersey. Edison, New Jersey, to be specific, which we can only guess was named after Edison Barrios, a famous Venezuelan basketball player. Watch for the breakdown on the back end, introducing a level of compositional complexity that pulls this track out of the Mindless Riffery pile. In fact, give ‘em a few nudges and they might start sounding downright mathy. Off II.
