An album cover clearly inspired by Cheap Trick’s debut and a release on Wanda Records already gives you insight in what to expect from The Bad Shapes’ self-titled debut LP. Featuring member of The Not Amused, The Twitchblades, The Messies and The Escalator Haters, The Bad Shapes (Berlin) play throwback powerpop’n’roll with a ’77 punk vibe. The Bad Shapes contains 12 songs, including one awesome cover of the Problematics’ classic (I Guess I’m Not Cool Enough) and one sung in German (Berlin Syndrom). It should come with a disclaimer that it guarantees 30 minutes of fun.
