“Like an overlooked, unmastered B-side for one of those Yellow Pills power pop compilations, Punks on Mars, a.k.a. Ryan Howe, pays tribute to an era when free-spirited riffing was as much a mainstay as skinny ties and geometric sunglasses. [While] those power pop bands toward the middle of the ’80s preferred glossy production, Punks On Mars ... thickens their sound, melding voices, drums and pogo-guitar licks into a candy-coated, pop picnic.” —Ryan Ellis, Weekly Tape Deck

***Punks on Mars is Ryan Howe, the artist formerly known as Luke Perry. Along with past and present Zoo Music artists such as Crocodiles, Dum Dum Girls and Dirty Beaches, Howe creates his own sonic world, but according to Altered Zones, his is one where “ambitious, full-band stadium swagger... sounds like it’s being re-directed live from Mars.” The four-song Hey! Tiffany EP is issued in a limited edition of 500 copies on black vinyl. “The Damned’s ‘New Rose,’ Generation X’s ‘Kiss Me Deadly’ and now this—the latest entry into the paedo-punk canon comes courtesy of sicko Luke Perry... [This] really does sound like Glitter doing unspeakable things to underage Martians. Enjoy it while you can….” —Vice
