Laughin’ Nose – “Could be So Lonely” from Never Trust Women (1985, AA Records)
MAXIMUMROCKNROLL had the best, most concise reviews. Call me lazy, but I don’t think I can top this one from Martin Sprouse in the December 1985 issue:
The Japanese version of the TOY DOLLS? This band puts forth four long, repetitious pop-punk fun songs. Almost too cute and too fun, the songs just seem to go on forever and really lack that extra punch. The exception is “No More War”—which is harsher and stronger (and also the only serious song here).
