The High Score
"Sexy Losers" CD
Lynn Point Records
Genres: indie rock, rock
Feb 3 - 9 2003 |
You know those times when you just feel
like you want something catchy to listen to? Just a
little dose of melody - a nice slice of pop? A simple
diversion that you can hum along to without really thinking
about too much?
Well, The High Score are the four guys you'll want
to look at to satiate these melodic cravings. From
Knoxville, Tennessee, the band play fun, loose rock n' roll
with an exciting, upbeat spirit. Songs like the opener,
"Blown-out Radio" and "Call It Vicious" are fun, catchy tunes
that you'll definitely be humming after a few listens.
The only problem with the band is that they don't seem
particularly original. While they have some neat ideas
that work well - including some cool energetic, chaotic noises
(and keyboard blips) in "Call It Vicious," these ideas seem
bogged down by that familiar indie rock style.
But that's all fine for a debut release. As it
stands, Sexy Losers is a fun indie rock diversion that
will hopefully garner a little buzz for the band. Though
a bit unoriginal, it boasts enough melodies to make it
appealing to most audiences. If the quartet can just do
a bit of soul-searching to find their niche, they could become
a really big band on the scene one day. Here's to the
sophomore album!
