Philpot - Hate Writes Better Than Love
Reviewed by michaelo
For a band that formed after an Oasis concert, Philpot has the good fortune of sounding nothing like the Brit rockers (nor do they apparently have the Gallagher brothers' penchant for violence, despite the album’s title). The album bears more resemblance to bands like Seven Mary Three and Live, in that raw-guitar-screaming-grunge way. The lyrics are maudlin at best, however, proving perhaps that Hate does write better than Love, since I didn’t love this album. [www.philpotband.com]
