An Exploding Hearts cover today and as there's an Exploding Hearts documentary on the way it's a timely one. I'm assuming you all know the Exploding Hearts, the Portland Oregon power pop band who released one of the best albums of all time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhmctlRdGOo) before 3 of the 4 members were tragically killed in a car accident following a gig in San Francisco in 2003. It isn't an easy task doing them justice but with this cover Dangers Of Love have a bloody good go.
From London, Dangers Of Love feature Giles Bidder (Great Cynics)(guitar/vocals) and Joe Watson (Apologies, I Have None) (guitar/vocals) plus Joe Watson (drums) & Matt Tinsley (bass). As you might imagine given the previous output of Giles and Joe they're an act you need to check out if you haven't already. There's a couple of their original songs upon Bandcamp : https://dangers-of-love.bandcamp.com/
There's a debut ep on the way (I think it'll be titled Vol.1), I'm expecting it to be great. In the meantime, something I know is great, this is I'm A Pretender...
I'm a pretender at the game of love,
Need somebody help me shatter my heart.
I'm a pretender at the game of love,
Need somebody help me shatter my foolish heart.
Need somebody help me shatter my heart.
I'm a pretender at the game of love,
Need somebody help me shatter my foolish heart.
21 and it ain't no fun,
My life's going by but it's just begun.
I'm searchin' and searchin' and I'm lookin' around,
Ain't gonna cry cuz there's no one to be found.

Took ya down to the avenue,
Weather was cool, so I bought you some food.
But I got so nervous when you asked me to come home,
Went in my house and spent the night all alone.
