Editorial Reviews

Welcome To Loserville is the debut album by ex-Busted member James Bourne's new band, the bizarrely monikered Son Of Dork. A collection of melodic punk rock stormers, the album may be short on subtlety, but that is more than made up for by the sheer exuberance and energy of the songs, reminiscent of bands such as busted and Blink 182. Includes the single 'Ticket Outta Loserville'. Mercury. 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars UK's version of The Starting Line, June 17, 2006

This review is from: Welcome to Loserville (Audio CD)

Take the music and melodies of the starting line and mix em' with early blink 182 lyrics, and you have one of the UK's biggest acts. Unlike busted and mcfly, which were further down the pop end of pop-punk, Son of Dork walk the line very well, putting just as much emphasis on the punk as the pop. "ticket outta loserville" is one of the best pop-punk songs I've heard in awile, and the intro to "slacker" recalls pop-punk classics like "secondary" (brand new) and "up and go" (the starting line) in that it's rich in complex guitar melodies that'll stay stuck in your head during the song and long after it ends. There are two or three 'ballads' on this ten track collection, which keeps it out of my top pop-punk albums list, but for what it's worth, the ballads are actually pretty good. I have no idea what the other reviewer wrote (it wasn't in english, for godsakes), but if he thinks they sound anything like wheatus or neve, he needs hearing aids. For fans of: Blink 182, New Found Glory and The Starting Line. If you think UK music is only bands like Keane and The Fray; My how you are mistaken.
