Choco Bro Radio Hour: Episode 6 by Vaguelycultural on Mixcloud

[clangoring]

Instead of relying on the Rod Stewart haircuts and skinny leather ties that have cursed the post-powerpop-whatever for ages to carry them through a plodding of lackluster songs, the #1s have paid closed attention to the sounds that were being made a couple hours north on the Good Vibrations label....

The #1s - Heartsmash (Video)

It has been a while since we featured Dublin four-piece The #1s here on the Lions Share but seeing as how they have just released a new video and their debut album 'The Number Ones' no seems like a good time to revisit the punky pop charms. The lofi video for 'Heartsmash' is typical of their  rough and ready aesthetic, with the catchy guitar-driven punk-pop & infectious sloppy harmonies, sticking to the same template the other nine songs on the album use. The whole thing is such a short sharp shock that it doesn't even get over the twenty minute mark: no bad thing in my book. Album is out now on Deranged Records / Static Shock Records

The Number Ones, by The Number Ones

10 track album

The whole LP is up for streaming now! If you haven't heard the #1s, this would be a perfect starting point. You've got "Sharon Shouldn't" - which will surely be remembered as one of the best power pop singles ever - and a slew of other songs that are pretty much just as solid. It's crazy how much amazing punk rock has come out in 2014 - keep it up y'all!
