The Pains of Being Pure At Heart - Say No To Love


With the release of a new single, it’s nice to see The Pains haven’t changed at all. The simple chord progression still remains, as well as the 80s haze and adorable lyrics. It’ll be quite a challenge for any self respecting fuzzpop fan to resist chanting along with the anthemic chorus: “Just say no to love!”. The B side reveals a more sombre side to the pains (relatively, of course) but still retains that innocent sincerity. These songs will never be big, but they’ll be big to some people – sure to be the soundtrack to dozens of new found loves and traumatic breakups.
