Donald “Pee Wee” Gaskins adalah salah seorang pembunuh tersadis dalam sejarah. Tercatat kurang lebih 100 kasus pembunuhan dilakukan olehnya. Tapi bukan itu pembahasan kita sekarang. Dengan mengambil nama Pee Wee Gaskins, sebuah band salah Jakarta mencoba mencari arti filosofis dari nama band mereka. Pee Wee, yang berarti kecil, tapi bisa mempunyai kemampuan di atas rata-rata. Dan band yang merasa masih kecil ini berharap bisa menjadi besar, tapi tentu saja bukan dengan cara membunuh.
Inilah mereka, Pee Wee Gaskins! Band yang dimotori oleh Dochi (gitar&vokal), Sansan (gitar&vokal), Omo (synthesizer), Aldy (drum), Eye (bass) ini baru saja mengeluarkan album kedua mereka.
Setelah sukses dengan album sebelumnya, Stories From Out Highschool Years di tahun 2000, kini mereka punya senjata baru. Berbekal nama The Sophomore, album ini sangat terasa penuh semangat. Tengok langsung lagu andalan di track no 2 yang berjudul Welcoming The Sophomore.
Nuansa remaja terasa kental di lagu berbahasa inggris ini, teriakan ala cheerleader bersahut-sahutan dengan beat penuh semangat dan bunyi-bunyian synthesizer. Bangun siang, buka jendela kamarmu, cuci muka, segera berangkat ke kampus, dan tinggalkan kamar berantakanmu itu. Seolah itulah gambaran suasana lagu ini. Penuh semangat untuk menyambut yang akan datang. Selanjutnya menunggu anda, Di Balik Hari Esok, lagi-lagi lagu penuh semangat.
Vokal bersahutan dan saling mengisi memang menjadi warna khas Pee Wee Gaskins. Part gitar yang padat dan penggunaan bebunyian synthesizer yang catchy menjadi ramuan yang sangat segar. Tatiana dan Berdiri Terinjak adalah 2 lagu dari album perdana mereka. Khusus untuk Berdiri Terinjak, mereka menggandeng Saski, penyanyi remaja yang juga baru menanjakan karirnya kembali. Pemilihan yang tepat, karena suara vokal Saski terdengar sangat pas dipadukan dengan musik yang diusung gerombolan anak muda ini.
Dengan total 13 track, terdiri dari sebuah intro, 8 lagu berbahasa inggris, 4 lagu berbahasa indonesia, anda juga bisa menemukan sedikit part akustik dari lagu Di Balik Hari Esok yang disembunyikan oleh mereka. Kurang? Coba cek sleeve albumnya. Selain sedikit masalah pada ukuran font penulisan liriknya yang terlalu kecil, rasanya tidak ada masalah serius. Bahakan DW menilai sleeve album ini cukup unik. Warna kuning dan oranye mendominasi, dengan gambar seorang pria berkacamata dan memegang buku, berdiri diatas tumpukan barang dan menatap mentari terbit.

Dorks Never Say Die
i got so good in physics while i got beaten phisycally
i went thru a lot just to write this down
done with the bullies and the bad treats
and all the guys who thinks they own the streets
i want you to know i dont want this
my heartbeat's getting faster
or is it getting any better getting any better?
is there a short cut to the other side
where i can live with pride
and a girl that i can lay beside
reff:
life is calling me now
i'm with you somehow
let's just pretend that they're all dead (let's just pretend that they're all dead)
what the hell are you waiting for
it's not the 60's anymore
it's you i'm with tonite we could be anywhere, with anyone anytime
got back home with a smile and we talked for awhile
this is the third time myspace saved my life
late hour conversation leads to a masturbation
deep down in dedication
ends up with satisfaction
i've tried so hard to get there
i know that this is getting better this is getting better
i found the shortcut to the other side
where i can live with pride
and a girl that i can lay beside
back to reff.
late hour conversation leads to a masturbation
left my homework behind i want you in my first place
it's you i want, i need, i embrace
Berdiri Terinjak
ada kala kuterjatuh, menahan perih
namun luka yang t'rus kau hempaskan, kini tak berarti
ku tetap berdiri, apapun kujalani
ku tetap berdiri, apapun kuhadapi
berdiri, terinjak
hadapi, hidupku
berdiri, beranjak
kau bukan, lawanku
camkan apa yang kuucap
biarkan kudisini semua mata kan menatap rendah
kuakan terus keras bernyanyi
langitpun kan benderang, menyambut hidup terang
Tatiana
well i'll wait until you listen
every words i have to say
noticing how bad i've been this week
now you're lying on the table
with everything i've said to you
so let's start over
so you and i both know
stay with me please til at least forever
you're my current obsession
my favorite position
you're inner light
do something bright
a glory without its victory
everyword ive said to you
were the words that i mean the most
i'll never let you go
oh, can we stay like this forever?
Here Up On The Attic
you are the first thing in my mind that i wanna meet
from the morning to the evening'til the end of the daycan i get your kiss tonight?
just a little kiss on the cheek..
and when it's time to start all over
i wanted this to last
those things you've done had come through this
to me
i dont know what went first but we started kissing
i pused back and she laid down; we were making out it was so much fun
c'mon c'mon
let's finish what we've started
here up on the attic
and the sun is down, this song is what im singing
all in all it was really exciting
'it was something new and it was fun
i dont mind if we never gonna do it again
just a hug and the company, of being there is already enough for me' she said
and the sun is down, this song is what im singing
this song is what im singing
c'mon c'mon
let's finish what we've started
here up on the attic
c'mon c'mon
c'mon c'mon
here up on the attic.
The Art Of Highschool Break Up
let's take a walk tonight
we're gonna talk this out
the moon is holding up my alibis
so what if youre with him tonite?
so what if i cant be there?
you were never really with me anyway
with hopes of starting over
(i'll send you post card when i get there)
anywhere
anywhere
far from you
reff:
one day i will find you even when you're not around
dont say "we wont last any longer"
or "you will find someone better"
it's you that im waiting for
so i'll wait for you
take notes that we'll still have each other
we'll drive away
(i can't let you go if you keep holding my hand)
let's give this one last shot
before i break your heart
the moon is down
so no more alibis
so what if youre with him tonite?
so what if i cant be there?
you were never really with me anyway
with hopes of starting over
(i'll send you post card when i get there)
anywhere
anywhere
far from you
dont bother to explain it
i dont care anymore
you know what's fun is fun
i know what's done is done
dont let the story end this way
let's just forget it
let's just pretend it
You Throw The Party, We Get The Girls
i adore your cute silly grin and
how you brush your shinny hair
until another day begins
there will be more sins tonight
(i might be drunk, but i'm sure i'm not)
spending more time alone with you
the rest is up to you
we had a date in your imagination
a paradise of your own creation
got caught up in sensation
can't fight this bad temptation
(i might be drunk, but i'm sure i'm not)
spending more time alone with you
the rest is up to you
is this love? is this love?
take it easy girl dont try too hard
(the rain will stop tonight)
is this love? is this love?
take it easy girl dont try too hard
i'll be there
i know just what you think, yeah
the boy just cracked your head
get over it
get over it
i know just what you think, yeah
the boy just cracked your heart
get over it
get over it
such an optimistic point of view
saying kung fu is so untrue
you danced and said "hulla ba loo!"
for a song of blink 182
anything you would get into
of course i'll be following through
stay with me until the end of day
and then we'll spend time on the phone
midnite driving to another time
(talk with me with a beginning rhyme)
du du du dudu dudu du du
(du du du dudu dudu du du)
i will meet you on the other line
(i will meet you on the other line)
i will meet you on the other line
(in the mean time)
in the mean time
(in the mean time)
get over it
Remember The Titans
see the stars unmade
make way for the memories remain
and ignore the good ones
watch it burn tonight
the world is never good enough for you
and im dying not to see you
you have a place in my and always do
dont think to go back to the alley you know it's true
you have a place in my and always do
dont think to go back to the alley you know it's true
but not tonight
the wounds im healing from your goodbyes
is the reason im still here tonight
despise, abhorrence, and detestation
in conclution is the reason to forget 2002
you're just adding "I" in misery and pain to me
letting go is so much easier than moving on
watch it burn tonight
it's the reason im still here tonight
wreck my heart apart
forget my promise not to let you go
