DATELESS
Everything Could Turn Out Right This Time CD
(self-released)
Dateless provide further proof of the Mutant Pop-style pop punk revival! If this band existed in the mid-90s, they’d be on MP colored vinyl, no question. In fact, they’d probably have a split with Dirt Bike Annie. And since Mutant Pop is releasing records again, Timbo, take notice! Please provide us with a 7” by this band! It is your duty! However, here are my all-important recommendations: more girl/boy vocals, more back-up vocals, and stronger choruses! And Dateless, I think you’re up for the challenge! The best songs (“Janel” and “Body Heat” in particular) are awesome! Super sappy lyrics, in a good way! I love sappy pop punk lyrics! Plus, in the grand pop punk tradition, they have a song about a girl named Janelle, but unlike the Queers, they spell it Janel! Curious! If this were a cereal, it’d be Rice Krispie Treats! Sugary! Yum!
