C'mon, Accept Your Joy!

C'mon, Accept Your Joy! is the debut album of Athens, Georgia-based power pop band Chris McKay & the Critical Darlings. According to Flagpole Magazine, "There’s a vague but strong taste of Cheap Trick’s “Surrender” in its muscular smiling power-pop, and that’s always a selling point."[1] The University of Georgia paper Red and Black declared the disc as sounding like "the Clash or some other music from that time."
