Bender "funny kar"

I received a copy of #bender "funny kar" to review for a fanzine in 1994.  While I wasn't into the CD's art at all I loved the chunky pop-punk on the disc. While listening and taking notes for my review I read that the band was from Toronto, just and hour and a half north of Buffalo.  While the border has always been a hassle for bands I had hoped to maybe catch these guys.  Never did.  In any event I wrote a favorable review and kept the disc around.  I used a couple of its anthemic songs on mixed tapes.  They were a band made for mix tapes:  strong catchy songs recorded well by a really obscure band. They made you look cool.  Along the way I started listening to this CD a lot.  A friend of mine had recently moved to NYC and got a job working for the hipster girl clothing company Delia's.   He phoned me up one time and told me to call the service line for the store after hours.  I did and the "hold" music was this album.  He was so pleased with his influence and honestly I was pretty impressed too.  That kind of shit is golden to twenty-two year old obsessive music fans.  After starting writing this all u can find out is this is their only full-length on the defunct Ringing Ear records (a home to a bunch if awesome early/mid nineties pop punk)  kind of surprised they never got any bigger, it prob was the really awful album art/concept.
