Featuring a good friend of mine, Derek Ljongquist, this review is on the sophomore Big Troubles album, Romantic Comedy. It's out now on Slumberland Records and sounds like a well-produced and feel-good piece of throwback jangle pop.

What do you think of this record? Love it? Hate it? Why? What should we take on next in these audio reviews that I hope to make weekly.
Stream: Big Troubles- "Sad Girls"
The band Big Troubles just dropped its sophomore album, Romantic Comedy, via Slumberland this month, and "Sad Girls" is the track embedded above.
This song is a light, jangly pop rock tune that sounds like it might have gotten some radio play on college stations in the 90s. The vocals even remind me of Billy Corgan a little bit.
Even though the instrumentation sounds pretty free and easy, the emotions are a bit darker. The lyrics tell a story of the singer being so sick of love, he doesn't want to hear about it anymore. If I'm hearing correctly, it's to the point where he'd just rather put a hole in his head than hear about it anymore. That's certainly an alternative.
