Pop Zeus was the project of one Mikey Hodges. Mikey's grandparents bought him a guitar for Christmas when he was 9, then he taught himself bass and drums before he turned 12. Sometime before any of that happened, Mikey was informed that Prince, Stevie Wonder and Todd Rundgren played everything on their records, which young Mikey thought was pretty fucking cool. Fast forward to about a year and a half ago, Mikey finally put to use a 4-track he bought for $75 and started writing some serious jammers with one mic, a drum machine and a few guitars.

Fast forward to about a year and a half ago, Mikey finally put to use a 4-track he bought for $75 and started writing some serious jammers with one mic, a drum machine and a few guitars. He narrowed nearly 30 songs down to 10, borrowed a couple nicer mics and used someone else's drums and amp. Now Burger Records is going to release a cassette tape of those 10 songs. They don't really sound like Prince or Stevie or Todd. This is pretty much power pop if you need to see words before you listen. There are tons of hooks and some ripping guitar solos. If those are things you enjoy, you're gonna shit when you hear this record.
