Tough Age – Tough Age (2013) review


Tough Age “Tough Age” (Mint Records, 2013) 
Very few records had came out this year that I knew I would
be obsessed over, the self titled album from Vancouvers fantastic Tough Age is
just that. Throughout the record you feel like your on a date with your best
gal. Throughout that date you take her to a beach party, followed by a trip to
the local malt shop to share a shake, perhaps you defend her honor in a back
alley knife fight, ending the night in a drag race around suicide bend. Clearly
you can hear the different musical influences travelling within this record,
Lo-fi fuzz pop you would expect belonging to one of the many Flying Nun bands,
elements of Doo-Wop, dip your toes into the water with some surf rock, and
finally a mouthful of Bubblegum Pop. Even most surprising is how well
everything sounds with some crazy good reverbed guitar. This is a short record,
but with so many hooks and surprises hiding in plain sight this is something I
bet you will be revisiting again and again.
