The Popravinas "Everybodys Fault But Ours"

powerpopaholic Power Pop Review

The Popravinas are a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy a Rolling Stones-meets-Whiskeytown sound. The Americana-bar party begins with “Popravina Weekend” and continues with twangy guitar licks. Lots of great tracks are here, including the foot stompin‘ narrative of “Biggest Shot” and the power pop hooks are all over “She’s Got Fashion” which recall the strut of The Georgia Satellites. Things get even peppier with “Long Walk Back” with quick fast drum beats and regular rhythmic riffs. The closest thing to a ballads here are “She Feels 101” and “Girl With A Workface” and they lean more to The Stones sound here. The other tracks follow a similar formula and tracks like “Johnny’s Gotta Girlfriend” and “Nearest Pretty Girl” have a bit more of that fuzz guitar and energy of The Replacements. No real clunkers here, although many tracks toward the albums end don’t stand out so much. I would love for these guys to write a humorous novelty track, like Mojo Nixon or Guns N’ Roses– they definitely have the ability. A great CD for driving with the top down and the stereo up loud.

  1. Paul, why is it funny that the bands have access to our e-mail addresses in this blog? Are we supposed to be afraid to speak our minds on the internet? Does Paul still work for the Bush Administration?

  2. You may like them, but why do the clubs rarely book The Popravinas?

    If they are as good as you claim, more people would be at their shows.

  3. I don’t agree at all, but it’s always funny because the bands have access to the email address of everyone that posts here.
    I’ve seen them twice and I thought they were better than most bands around LA in this genre.
