Now to something more in line with what we became noted for. Absolute Losers are a Power Trio from Prince Edward Island, Canada and they offer up big sounding Guitar Pop, deliberately a little retro with much more variety that you might expect.
Listening to the opener, you'd expect to be about to listen to something similar to The Who, certainly they early years and if Pete Townshend did invent the term Power Pop this can be their tribute. But the album takes on many directions.
Don't Go is jangling Merseybeat whilst the title track is more Brit Pop, Cast springs to mind. Yet, Kiss Of Death could be something from the Stiff Records label and adds some wonderful harmonies. Whereas, the album does sound very Brit, Eagerness is far more American, a bit Tom Petty in Heartbreakers mode.
You Never Say That You Love Me is great Classic Power Pop whilst For So Long is nearer Vintage Rock And Roll, with hints of Americana and American Graffiti. Your Colours has a wonderful retro Jangle Pop vibe.
In The Crowd is splendidly melodic and an album that shows admirable maturity for such a young band. Excellent produced and arranged, vocally harmonic and really catchy. The time in the Studio has paid dividends and the whole thing is as enjoyable a listen as you could wish for.
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on CD, Vinyl and as a download.
