This first EP from
Greensboro NC’s Daddy Issues can be summed up in just one word, “fun.” Recorded and mixed by Kris Hilbert at
Legitimate Business, "Double Loser" has some of the tastiest surf
rock songs you will ever hear. Lush
vocals with a Phil Spector vibe, jangly guitars and a tight rhythm section pair
fantastically with catchy, risque lyrics.
Vocals range from ethereal Mazzy Star influenced sweetness on ”Lethal
Dose” (which also features a particularly tasty burbling bass line), to raucous
sixties girl group wails on ”So Hard.” A
multi-decade groove that embraces the essence of being a Teenager with a
capital ”T" makes Daddy Issues a band to look out for. If you like fun surf pop that begs to be
cranked, check them out.
