Love Nut - ¡Baltimucho! | 90s Album Review
Listen now
Description
Although only active for a short time in the 1990s, Baltimore, Maryland's Love Nut still managed to bounce from indie to major labels back to the indies over the course of their two albums. Originally recorded for Interscope Records, the band ended up releasing their second and last album on the smaller label Big Deal, meaning more freedom but less budget money for promotion and marketing. Which is a shame, because revisiting ¡Baltimucho! it's clear the band were ripe for discovery with big, hooky power pop choruses that leaned on the 70s glam pop of Sweet as much as Cheap Trick.    Songs In This Episode Intro - Love Found You 15:58 - Everchanging World 21:20 - Bomb Pine 26:48: Everything Is Going Your Way 34:48 - Crop Duster Outro - Stolen Picture   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
