As a huge fan of Flipside era punk socal punk, The Humpers were a huge band on favorites list and still are.So whenever the voice of The Humpers Scott "Deluxe" Drake has something new he's putting out I wanna hear it. The Lovesores based out of Portland Oregon have Mr.Drake kickin it on vox,along with Alex Fast, Eric Bennes, Jeff Fieldhouse,and Adam Kattau providing the face punch rock n roll. Bubble Gum Riot on 10 inches of vinyl is a trip down memory lane just for the simple face that is seem like this package of 6 songs was recorded for the turntable as it preferred medium. Its available on the net and I'm sure it packs the same punch but the warmth on the actual disc is very cool indeed. Now, the songs...The Lovesores don't start things off slow Bubble Gum Riot starts off with its title track and Flamethrower Chic will grab your attention right away. A real Heartbreakers meets the MC5 feel to these first two songs.82ND Avenue Breakdown slows the tempo ever so slightly but does not sand the edges and keeps the record powerful and moving right along.Her Majesty's Ass could have be written about so many gals I've known over the years great lyrics and very Vibrators style pogo worthy song.Chinese Twist is probably my favorite tune on the record and believe me its hard to pick a stand out tune off of Bubble Gum Riot,but Chinese Twist just cooks a little hotter,leading into the records final song Theme To The Lovesores which is easily the most melodic song on the record but once again great lyrics that are pretty damn poetic in their simplicity and slice of rock n roll life that we can all relate to. All and all I love this record and the band has the energy and enthusiasm of bands half their ages!!! Easily smashes its way into my top 3 for the year and I'm anxiously awaiting another release or maybe a tour.
