Boris the Sprinkler Gets A Clue

"This is an album packed with great, snappy songs that thrive on their own adrenalin, revel in thei infantile humour and rejoice in the true spirit of Punk Rock (just like they should.) They play frantic, catchy, punk rock (think Ramones meet Circle Jerks via Rezillos… they’ve covered all three bands along the way,in their own inimitable style…) You get the impression that these guys have never even thought about a career in music, but just taken opportunities to tour and make records for the excitement they get out of it themselves. In a perfect world, they would be hugely popular but still giving their entire audience the finger. Booking-in at under 20 minutes, this is the kind-of album that’s over long before you could ever get tired of it (although songs like these ought to keep you pogo-ing all night long.) Buy this and then buy everything else that this band has ever released. It’s should be considered an honour and a privilege to give them your money!" - Fear And Loathing
"If Boris is putting it out, I'm buying it. In my book, Boris the Sprinkler is certainly the most underrated and no doubt one of the very best of all those '70s-style punk bands that formed in the '90s. As the world pauses to reflect with awe on the 30th anniversary of the release of Boris's debut album 8-Testicled Pogo Machine, I can't think of another band that was more important in informing my musical tastes and opening the gateway to so many staples of my record collection. And if the best record label on the planet saw fit to release this group's Clue-themed EP on compact disc, you should be ordering now and asking questions later." - Lord Rutledge
"Rev. Norb and those Wisconsin wildmen Boris The Sprinkler deliver a pop-punk raver that should have you spinning around the room like a dizzy tween. Formed a few years before the 90s pop-punk explosion in 1992, the band ran its course but reunited for Insubordination Fest in 2017 and have been back on the scene ever since. Rev. Norb’s Clue-inspired lyrics and Paul #1’s raging electric guitar – part Chuck Berry, part Joe Strummer – fuel this trashy but rockin’ gem. Recorded in 2019, this track will appear on the LP “Boris The Sprinkler Gets A Clue,” due in July." - Jim Testa, Off Shelf
"Musically, this is vintage BtS goofball '77 punk-pop. The band's classic lineup is on board and sounding totally hot. If you're a Boris fan, these songs will remind you why you got into the band in the first place. Tracks like "I Wanna Dance Like Professor Plum" and "No One Loves Mr. Green" are totally giving me Saucer to Saturn/Mega Anal vibes. I must say the execution of the concept is top-notch. This is a fun and wildly entertaining collection of songs that I keep on listening to over and over. Of course there's no other lyricist in the universe like Norb, and here his creativity in writing about the iconic Clue characters is the stuff of delight. Paul #1 never gets enough credit for being one of the true guitar superstars of modern-day pop-punk. Once you solve the mystery of who offed Mr. Boddy, you can get busy trying to figure out if any theft of classic punk riffs has occurred. Ric Six and Paul #2, the unsung heroes of Boris the Sprinkler, are in fine form as well." - Faster And Louder
Boris The Sprinkler were formed the night of the 1992 ShopKo fireworks in Green Bay. Veterans of numerous local bands (including minor Beer City sensations Suburban Mutilation), they opted to forgo most then-popular musical routes — long-stale hardcore, vaguely melodic emo-esque muttering, dull strummy plugged-in acoustic guitar crap — for the then highly-unpopular music they grew up playing: The punk rock of the late 70’s and early 80’s.
In 2009, the classic lineup of the band was cajoled out of retirement for an appearance at Insubordination Fest in Baltimore; in 2017, they started playing more-or-less annual shows. In 2019, they found themselves (under mysterious circumstances) in a recording studio together, with Vespa To Venus being the result. Three years later... Boris The Sprinkler Gets A Clue.
The band enjoys socks, soup, and most polkas.
