Search - The Breakup Society :: Nobody Likes a Winner

Second album by original Pittsburgh combo transplanted to Tucson, AZ. and fronted by the multi-talented, ex-Frampton Brother Ed Masley. Nobody Likes a Winner is awesome. It's near-perfect power-pop -- catchy as hell but not cloying, with lyrics that are clever but not showoff clever -- the sort for which I am a complete sucker. It's basically the variety of bubblegum pop that was all over the radio in the '70s, but played with louder-than-bubblegum guitars; and almost every song is about one of two things: love or revenge. If you've ever wondered why we haven't heard anything from Redd Kross for a while or lamented the fact that you were born too late to see Big Star in their prime, do yourself a favor, and go check these guys out this weekend.
