It’s hard to tell if a given song by Broken Hope is doing anything particularly interesting, but hell, it sure sounds like it’s taking the world by storm.
Initially, “kill yr boyfriend” struck me as yummy bubblegummy Hot Damn! with cutesy-pie squealing and “yeah, yeah, yeah!” male choruses to round out the sound.
Sure, they sounded almost identical to every other caffeinated punkpop band of the early ’90s, but 88 Fingers Louie sounded rawer and had hoarser vocals.
Rare and unreleased tracks by bands of interest that aren’t rare or unreleased because they’re inferior. Their style just isn’t the primary focus of the band.
