Corner Boys - I'm Not Sorry


(Photo by Five Lessons Learned)

  Vancouver trio Corner Boys featured on here earlier this year with a track from their excellent debut album Waiting For 2020 (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/04/corner-boys-waiting-for-2020.html). They're back today with a song that was recorded during the sessions for the album but for whatever reason didn't make the final cut. As a thank you to fans, the band have released a collection of unreleased "B-Sides" which as well as the aforementioned song also includes a couple more recorded in 2017 as part of the sessions for their Just Don't Care 7" and their excellent cover of the Martha And The Muffins' classic Echo Beach (I'll play that on next Sunday's Just Some Punk Songs show).

  The ep is titled B-Sides and you can snap it up name your price here :   https://cornerboys.bandcamp.com/album/b-sides

  If you want more band info, including details of a gig later this week with DOA and Chain Whip then go here : https://www.facebook.com/CornerBoysBC/  Then on September 28th they'll be playing with BA Johnston at Pat's Pub. This will be their last ever gig before they sadly split up.

  So, tracks 1 & 2, nice rough and ready power pop-punk tunes Deadbeat Heart and Speed Dial Love, track 3, an impressive bouncy version of Echo Beach and track 4, a very catchy singalong (is that a Buzzcocks guitar riff I hear hidden in there?) who's omission from the album just demonstrates how bloody strong that lp was.  This is I'm Not Sorry....
