I like this. Cloud Nothings and The Men constitute a mini indie guitar revival for old people.

As someone who stood through many opening bands from 1997, I'll take it.
Side project: let's list the big indie opening bands of 1997.

Dissolve?
p sure i saw trans am headlining by that point, i think pole opened for them
i guess i meant just the random local bands thrown on national bills (which was the custom here in mpls not sure abt elsewhere)

The L.A. go-to opening band in 1997 was Strictly Ballroom, who eventually became Dntel and Beachwood Sparks.

when i saw them live they didn't play anything off leave home, really disappointing. i don't hate this album or anything but it's pretty remarkable how much more boring they became between albums

if you could describe something as "shitty" but have it be a compliment it would be this album

Except for its tempo, that song above would fit comfortably next to "Working for the Weekend" and "Two Tickets to Paradise" on classic rock radio.

reminds me of Love As Laughter quite a bit in parts. Turn It Around almost sounds like an intentional rip of something from Sea To Shining Sea

I was at this show - it's funny how the camera person tries to make it look like it was maximum carnage in there (there was a sort of half-ironic pit for a while, but the room is too tiny to really do anything THAT wild). Anyway, I like this tune; looking forward to the album:
