Charmless - Action 7'' (Isota, 2003)

Rating: 7 glue sniffers out of 10

Charmless were an indie pop (with just a slight tinge of both punk and emo) band out of SF that existed in the early-to-mid 2000s.  They wrote some catchy songs, played some poorly attended shows, and outside of the fandom of a couple of my friends kinda disappeared off the map (note: the are apparently back together according to the above link - this was news to me).  They were one of those bands I could have totally seen getting popular but never seemed to catch on with the cool kids.  Anyways, both the title track here and the flip "Hot Flower" are good songs, though not my favorites the band released.  The record is on really deep clear purple vinyl, and the packaging is screened on this great heavy cardboard - presentation gets the highest rating possible.
