notes
Everybody loves the underdog. They're unaffected, unassuming, and innocently charming. The Washington Social Club is destined to have a similar sort of appeal, with their shameless straight-ahead approach to rock 'n' roll.
No one will be able to ignore their debut full-length, Catching Looks, produced by Brian McTear (Matt Pond, Burning Brides, the Capitol Years). It's extremely catchy and instantly irresistible. These rebellious "townies" of rock will lasso you into their indie-punk world within seconds. Album tracks such as "A Simple Sound" and "Breaking the Dawn" are brimming with zealous energy and solid hooks.
Wielding an explosive set of fun, accessible dance-rock songs, the Washington Social Club undermines all that is drab, pretentious and dull. DC's WSC dishes out concise homages to the art of rock 'n' roll and all that is associated with it. The Washington Social Club pulls even the stiffest of audience members to their feet without ever having to beg.
The group has already earned some noteworthy comparisons to The Clash, The Pretenders, Ted Leo and the wildest elements of late 70's British Punk. The success of their self-released debut EP, And now for--, and sold-out live shows relied solely on word of mouth.
They grabbed the attention of Afeinmartini- (management for My Morning Jacket and Good Charlotte) and last year hit the road with Hot, Hot Heat. Now the band is ready to spread their attitude and catchy-ass songs all over North America. MTV.com just featured them on The Leak: Advance Warning and called them a contender for best of 2004. Yes, we think you'll love this.
"An exciting young band (from Washington DC, naturally) that updates the sound of old fashioned rock 'n' roll with a wild, yelpy passion all its own." - NY TIMES
"...word of the band's brilliant live performances- all swagger and energy, brimming with raw enthusiasm and great talent- is beginning to spread." - The Washington Post
"Frontman Marty Social seems like a rock-god-in training." - Splendid
