“Filthy Luck”
Who Would Ever Want Something So Broken (out now on Dead Broke Rekerds)
Admittedly, I’m way late on this, but holy shit, it’s Monday, I’m in love. Weston’s James Snyder sets the way-back machine to 1994, and the results are fucking fantastic. A little bit Jawbreaker, a little bit Gin Blossoms, a whole fucking lot teenage angst, “Filthy Luck” nails the balance between disaffected edge and Grade-A pop hooks that is an ever-present on the tracks littering our “Best of the 90’s” playlists. The whole of the lean, muscular 4-song EP is more than worth of a listen, but the swashbuckling opener is its finest moment. If you are between the ages of 25 and 35 and ever liked something called “modern rock,” I dare you not to fall in love with this.
