The Sweat - No More Running
#670
1981 Housekeeping LISTENING POST DISCOVERY
The Sweat
No More Running
Genre: Power Pop
4.75 out of 5 (I could go to 5 but I don’t wanna oversell it)
Highlights:
Isn’t Anything Sacred Anymore
Here Comes Another Lonely Night
You Gotta Lotta Nerve
I Can Hardly Wait
Can’t Help Myself
I Must Be Crazy
Do You Wanna Break My Heart
Are you kidding me?
This is delicious Power Pop in the Shoes/Romantics vein.
The hooks are magical. The band reminds me of the first time I heard…I dunno…Chris Pope and The Chords.
“I Can Hardly Wait” could be an Andersons tune.
In fact, I would say that this record could have been made by any of the bands who were the children of this genre.
This is like hearing Great Buildings for the first time. I could have listed just about every tune on the Highlights here.
I refer you to the Willfully Obscure entry on this one.
