Smoking Popes | Born To Quit | Blue Vinyl LP | Rough Trade

You remember this 1994 album\u2026it\u2019s the one with the hit song Need You Around, which was pretty much everywhere back then, including in the movie Clueless. For that matter, Lucky Day from this album was in Tommy Boy, Mrs. You and Me was in Angus, and Gotta Know Right Now was in Boys. That led to the Popes opening for acts like Morrissey, whose voice Josh Caterer\u2014one of three Caterer brothers in the band\u2014rather echoes. Morrissey himself proclaimed this album \u201Cextraordinary, the most lovable thing I\u2019d heard in years.\u201D If you like power pop hooks with heart, look no further.
