The Pretty Flowers - Another Way To Lose

  

  So what was the most popular song on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show with the people who were listening in the chatroom? Probably this one...

  The Pretty Flowers (https://www.facebook.com/ThePrettyFlowers) are Noah Green (vocals/guitar), Sam Tiger (bass/vocals), Jake Gideon (Guitar/Vocals/Keyboards/Omnichord/Percussion) & Sean Johnson (drums/percussion), a punk/indie quartet from Los Angeles. I don't think I've come across them before but a look at their Bandcamp link shows they've been pretty prolific over the last 8 years. 

  Their new album (their 2nd) has hit my radar though. It's titled A Company Sleeve and it's one of those rare records that should be getting picked up by all the top indie rock radio stations out there as it's catchy enough for mainstream ears... but at the same time, it doesn't bore me. (Another of these type of records is Asleep In The Ejector Seat by the Heat Inc which will no doubt feature on here next Friday when it hits the record shop shelves). 

  If you fancy a dozen tracks of easy listening (and on this occasion I mean easy listening in a good way) melody then you'll want to check A Company Sleeve out. It's available on coloured vinyl, cd and digital download... https://theprettyflowers.bandcamp.com/album/a-company-sleeve

  This is the song that wowed the JSPS listeners, I'm sure it'll impress you too. It's called Another Way To Lose...

It’s not my place To make up your mind for you I’m not a patient person But I can wait for you It’s not destiny It’s just another thing you can’t outrun Your dress was purple-blue You matched the sky The sky was a bruise How do you cope When everything around you is a joke? How do you choose When every way’s another way to lose? I can never listen ‘Cause it sounds like the same old shit It’s selling someone else’s youth Back to some younger kids We’re caught up now Like a coughing fit We’re caught up now It’s tough to get over it How do you cope When everything around you is a joke? How do you choose When every way’s another way to lose? How do you cope When everything around you is a joke? How do you choose When every way’s another way to lose?
