When Sub Pop sales manager Dean Whitmore isnt helping proliferate Jonathan Ponemans stable of bands, he holds down dual duties as the drummer and frontman for the Unnatural Helpers, a delightfully melodic garage rock outfit that has recently completed work on a new record with producer Kurt Bloch. The first single, Sunshine/Pretty Girls, is so ridiculously infectious that one listen will lodge it in your eternal jukebox for days on end. Its a shame that Dutchess and the Dukes Kimberly Morrison is no longer in the band, but at least a fine candidate like Andrew Sullivan from the Trashies has picked up her duties. With Thee Oh Sees, Urinals. HANNAH LEVIN
