LIFE PARTNERS - Teenagers In Trouble
Still unsure how Life Partners morphed from one of the most painfully high-pitched live bands Ive ever seen into this uncircumcised Arab on Radar/Sockeye style party rock band, and doubtful Ill ever get to find out. But back to the heres and nows -¢?? theyre a four-piece again, with trumpeter Greg Kelley wiggin out up front with singer Dave Dougan. -¢??AIDS of Spades-¢?¬ù has a nice lowrider quality to it, woulda fit well in a Cheech & Chong movie. -¢??Teenager in Trouble-¢?¬ù is even sillier, with some really off lyrics about pregnant, at-risk teens fuckin and drinkin. Im smiling, and smiling again. Memorable shit from what sounds like the party foul of Boston; where others tear down, they build up. First release on a new label co-run by librarian Chris Strunk. Great work! - Doug Mosurock, Dusted Magazine.
