| Doughboys |
Montreal's Doughboys were simpatico with ALL and Mega City Four; hell, Wiz from MC4 even joined Doughboys for their last two records of punk pop. Led by ex-Asexual John Kastner, they made a go of it, making six LPs between 1987 and 1996. They are the kind of band I wish I had been familiar with during their heyday; their last three albums came out on A&M, not some indie with cruddy distribution, and their sound should have broken through as part of the alternative boom of the early 90s.
"Whatever" was their first album, originally released in Canada by MTL Records and Pipeline Records, and reissued in the States by Cargo Records. It's arguably their "punkest" record. The ten songs here blur by in just 28 minutes and, like their contemporaries from California and Hampshire, blazed a path for the sort of tuneful punk that'd be championed by No Idea and Boss Tuneage a decade later.
