The Awkward Stage
Label: MintGenre: Pop, Rock
About The Awkward Stage, my friend Tim O. has this to say: "Here's an album in the grand tradition of geek rock, as in Weezer, Beck, etc., even though The Awkward Stage doesn't sound like any of them. Strong melodies and pop hooks lead a slight voice through cleverly-titled, literate and ultimately pathetic songs. Even the cover art depicts lead singer Shane Nelken going to prom with a blow-up doll while wearing a retainer and head gear. In fact, I heard Joe had the same head gear in middle school." Wait a minute, there... Well, that's enough from Tim O. on the subject. Oh no, wait, he has one more thing to say. "While the title track claims 'The Morons are Winning,' The Awkward Stage are clearly figthing back." Brilliantly pithy, T.O. Look for Heaven is for Easy Girls on October 10.
