Back in 2002 Econoline gained plaudits from various underground sources as a kind of UK Fugazi. An EP appearance on Fierce Panda and debut album Music Is Stupid positioned them just under crossover territory. Money and luck can be ignorant givers, so they’ve not quite made it overboard yet. I first encountered the band’s 2006 sophomore effort last night, after a plea for material for Trans-Atlantic Underground #3. Its hardcore-pop excellence has preserved a modicum of my good-feeling during work, and I’m not about to be enthused in a more productive way tonight. Firstly, despite the hardcore comparisons, this is basically a pure pop record with schizophrenia. Recorded in 2003 but delayed by financial constraints, it’s a journey between acoustic turned heads and amps on full blast. The major parallels with Dischord from over a decade ago lay with vocalist/guitarist/lyricist Ian Scanlon’s sincerity. Occasional guitar grinding occurs, “Chicks Dig Scars” is worthy of Read Yellow, but the album has a propulsive emotional flavour
