RENO DIVORCE
You're Only Making It Worse (Boss Tuneage)
Reviewed by Alan Wright

---

Very good pop-punk in the style of vintage Husker Du, the Replacements, Social Distortion and also reminding me a bit of the Stand GT, whose last CD was also on this label. With song titles like "Bitch, I Hope You're Happy," "Hard Luck Story," and "I Didn't Cry For You," you know this isn't the happiest music in the lyrics department. Most of the songs deal with "love gone bad" topics, but the music is as pogo-popping happy as you're going to get. A twee bit of country influence adds some nice diversity to the barrage of distorted guitars and speed-happy tempos.
