"...IPP, which played their first gig in 2002, serves up playful, less than polished pop, perfect for those afflicted with ADD...On the whole, the disc has a sweetness to it, a lite aesthetic that makes it a good foil to the more cacophonous sounds we often hear these days."

Just type in International Pen Pal, and you'll find us. It makes us feel legit the same way Navin R. Johnson felt when he saw his name in the phonebook. Due to a cross-referencing error though, they think our singer has had previous releases dating back to 1958.
...Or maybe it's not an error!

I see it says Providence on your home town...I thought you guys were based in Somerville. And that is why I am commenting, since a certain bar in Somerville is looking for a local band with a draw to play on a bill with THIRD RAIL next February 10.

I just posted a second ago but I am now listening to "Rita Lynn" and I want to join your band or . . . you can join me in my June 29, 2014 gig when we take over the Boston Common!
I think you have a virtuouso kazoo player on "RL" plus a Gibson 335. . . now that IS CLASS!
Now wonder you are "International" class . . . maybe you should change your name to Universal Pen Pal.
You guys are so wicked pissah! I saw you outdoors in Somerville last year and you blew me away. Can't wait to see you guys at the Naked Cage in the combat zone next month on nude night. Wow, last time was such a blast if you catch my drift. Rock on! ~ Richard from THIRD RAIL
