Helen Love - Smash Hits

Review by Nina Keen

A brilliant, unpretentious pop album packed with pop culture references that blares in a neon rainbow»

Helen Love are back with their eighth studio album titled 'Smash Hits'. A seminal band and bona fide indie pop legends; they have an indie label track history that reads like a discography of your favourite indie pop punk hits including the likes of Damaged Goods, Che, Wurlitzer Jukebox, Invicta Hi Fi, Sympathy For The Record Industry, Elefant and now Alcopop! Helen Love's records are jam-packed with colourful icons and brilliant, endless nostalgic memories of the history of pop. Formed in Swansea in 1992, Helen Love are probably the biggest Ramones fans in Wales, if not the entire United Kingdom, if not the world. Mixing that trademark punk sound with a little B-52's and a whole lot of indie irony, over the years they've created a sunny and unapologetically disposable style that bursts into life like a saccharine disco-indie-punk pinata.
