Nothing Hurts
Album | Male Bonding
Simple, fun, and fast indie guitar moves.
Proving once again that loud guitar rock can be fun and simple without being stupid, London’s Male Bonding offer up the fuzzy and mostly fantastic Nothing Hurts. While it seems unlikely that there is much left to revisit in the pantheon of early '90s Dinosaur Jr.-ish rock canon, Male Bonding manage to make the grungy indie-pop rock song sound fresh and surprisingly new. “Weird Feelings” and “All Things This Way” cram in more hooks and time shifts in 2 minutes than other bands manage in entire albums. More importantly, the trio sounds like they are actually having fun, a surprisingly rare commodity in music in 2010. Clocking in at just under 30 minutes, these 13 tracks prove that sometimes the oldest trick in the book—good old hooky blasts of pogo-friendly rock and roll euphoria--is still the best.
