Yes In My Backyard is a semiweekly column showcasing MP3s from new and emerging local talent.

Listening to Brooklyn's Boogie Boarder is like chugging a tall boy filled with all the fun parts of noise-rock--with none of the actual noise. That means hand-drawing cute animals on the 36-page zine you package your record in; that means playing ecstatic melodies and erratic drum flurries with no worries about coherence; that means naming your record Pizza Hero. While Boogie Boarder may have the skronk-making abilities of any prized avant-punkos, they use them to produce breezy beach melodies that cut right to the heart of the easygoing twentysomethings that would rather mosh to Matt & Kim than the Locust. Pizza Hero (Famous Class) is eight jolly no-fi jams, each one kindly begging for a bro-hug and a night of Xbox Live. Second track "Bio Hassle" is a sunny blast full of skittering drums and unfiltered happiness. Its manic video tries to boil down partying to its molecular essence (pizza, beer, cake, rocking, breaking shit, balloons) and stuffs them all into a moving van.
