THE LONGSHOT: Love Is For Losers 7 (Picture Disc) LOVELOSTPICDISC

Billie Joe Armstrong making a power pop record under a different name because the Green Day machine had gotten too heavy to steer, that's The Longshot in a sentence. Love Is For Losers is the kind of song that sounds like it was written in a garage at 2am by someone who owns too many Buzzcocks records.

This limited edition 7" picture disc is the format the song deserves, the kind of thing you buy for your wall and then immediately want to play. The picture disc format has always had a cult following in punk and alternative circles precisely because it sits at the intersection of music and object, and this one earns its place in the collection. Garage rock hooks, punk rock attitude, pressed into something worth looking at.

Format: 7" Vinyl, Picture Disc, Limited Edition Single. Genre: Power Pop, Punk Rock, Garage Rock. Country of origin: USA.

Fans of: Green Day, The Replacements, Buzzcocks, Paul Westerberg.
