Rating: 7 pretentious bombers out of 10
Bad Sports, out of Texas, are not breaking new ground, and I'm pretty sure they couldn't give a shit. This is pop punk the way it's been heard for decades, and the way it should always be heard. "Sweet Sweet Mandi" sounds like it was taken off of a classic Ramones album. "Teenage Girls" is a dead ringer for an Exploding Hearts track. You could probably make a Marked Men comparison in here too, and there is a little garage fuzz here and there, but this is a pop record with loud guitars - and the world is better off for it.
