Albums Better Days

Press Reviews "Somebody needs to inform Bob Mould of Broken Jones. Then maybe he'd get off his ass and start making good albums again. Broken Jones picks up the thread that Mr. Mould dropped after the first Sugar album and improves on it. Serious power pop with hooky melodies and choruses..." - Alan Pinkerton, Rockpile *** "Better Days, an excellent work of song-driven, thinking-person's pop..." -- Dave Liljengren, Pandemonium
