I Won't Love You

themingowman I hate a lot of "goofy" music for its typical tackiness and lack of effort, but this a really solid LP with a great execution of silly themes without losing touch of more realistic elements. Funny that this was released (in the 80s) on "Discard" records since Ian wanted to keep the label's integrity. Good call for the time period, Ian! Favorite track: Six O'Clock.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimes
