Search - Milky Wimpshake :: My Funny Social Crime

2010 release from the British fizzy Pop/Punk outfit. Obvious pop hits include the single "One Good Use For My Heart", a heartfelt ode to remaining in love; the insanely catchy "Cherry Pop"; and a duet with Amelia Fletcher (Talulah Gosh, Heavenly, Tender Trap) on "Eyeball To Eyeball". As well there are two covers that show the breadth of the band's influences in The Monitors' Motown classic "Share A Little Love With Me" and a version of Riot Grrrl band Kicking Giant's "Fuck The Rules". While most songs adhere to the classic Milky Wimpshake sound - buzzsaw guitar (think Ramones, Buzzcocks), simple bass, garage-y drums, throwaway humorous lyrics - there are moments of real tenderness in "Itchy Feet On A Tuesday Night", "Patchwork" and "Changing Shape". My Funny Social Crime is an album chockfull of great pop tunes played with heart and will be warmly received by their many fans and new listeners alike. Fortuna Pop.
