THE EXPLODING HEARTS

They were SO the best pop group since, erm, EVER.

Jesus fuck, is "Guitar Romantic" ever a top 5 ever LP.

everytime you make a thread about exploding hearts, no one replies :(

disgusting.

"i'm a pretender" is my favourite buzzcocks-sounding song ever.

i like them more than the buzzcocks.

every song on the album is BRILLIANT is some way or another.

buzzcocks don't really sound as poppy as them.

i like buzzcocks in general more.

i remember hearing "I'm A Pretender"

when i saw AIDS Wolf in Tottenham.

It was surreal as i'd been caning it all day before, and i'd never even heard them before that week.

i think it made me love them even more because that moment was so weird.

i love this band.

it took ages to upload too.

stupid internet.

wishpig | 4 May '06, 19:36 | Send note | Report this | Reply

it's loads of fun!

i imagine this album would sound great in a cheap bar. roll on summer.

it seems funny that it was recorded fairly recently, it sound OLD. and not fake-old. i bet if they hadn't died the nme would have raped them as part of the "new rock revolution". :(

their wikipedia article mentions the epoxies, who i haven't listened to for ages but are GREAT.

84joe | 4 May '06, 19:44 | Send note | Report this | Reply

YAY.
