Apparently, Loser played 6 songs. I can only remember three. This is because ‘Punch Drunk’, ‘It’s all about Me’ and ‘If’ sounded exactly the same. The same simple chords. The same tempo. The same melodies. The same drum beat. Boring. The monotony was broken by an admiral attempt by the lead singer at an acoustic solo song, which, surprisingly, featured another wonderfully simple and limited chord turnaround. The final 2 songs / song featured, at the end, a stunt that only impresses the audience if they haven’t seen it before; the old guitar-behind-the-head trick. Oh dear. I actually wanted to hit the drummer at the end of this drivel; all of his drum fills were identical. And they weren’t even any good. Much like this band, really.
