Be forewarned, pop-punk kiddos. There's no logical reason to miss Saturday's CD release party for one of Tacoma's favorites, Phasers on Kill. The new EP, Write Home, features five songs by bassist Dan (Danno) Rankins, guitarist/vocalist Chris Adkins, drummer Ryan Smith (Timebomb) and guitarist/vocalist Mikey Waco. The clean, poppy songs locked on heavy punk sound like something you'd hear on Fat Wreck Chords (NOFX, Teenage Bottlerocket).
