All the Little Letdowns Reviews!

  • Room Thirteen
    • “…[Junior Achiever has] an album that will have you excited as a kid on Christmas Eve with it’s sound that is a cross between Fountains Of Wayne, Bowling For Soup and Everclear, and so whilst other Pop/Punk albums are becoming watered down and bland, Junior Achiever have one that stands up proud like the contents of a schoolboys’ trousers! Great stuff! 13 out of 13”

  • This could be defined as pop punk, but frontman Gene Champagne has a light touch which ensures Junior Achiever are more Weezer-gone-wild than One Night Only. Each track contains a hefty dollop of ‘niceness’ but irony is like, so over; it’s cool to be kind. With songs like ‘Suburbs’ and ‘Dumb It Down’, these guys know their market. “You’ve got to put things right if you want to keep good company,” sings Champagne on ‘Underrated’, which espouses the value of good old fashioned manners and self respect. Summer definitely brings the best out of childishly enthusiastic pop punkers.
