Original Release Notes: Welcome to the 2nd dose of The Takeovers. Following up their 1st album, Turn To Red, the world famous ROBERT POLLARD (of GUIDED BY VOICES) and the less so CHRIS SLUSARENKO (also of GBV) continue their musical mission of bombastic post-punk, fragile acoustic beauty and pop quirk. The new album, Bad Football, finds the boys with another drink in their hand but also with a perversely more catchy and anthem oriented album.
Cheap Trick whore action like "Pretty Not Bad" rub shoulders with the Verlaines aloofness of "I Can See My Dog" while the bass player from Wire looks down from heaven. Calling on likeminded bedfellows such as Stephen Malkmus (PAVEMENT), Tad Doyle (TAD), John Moen (THE DECEMBERISTS) and Dan Peters (MUDHONEY) to help follow their tuneful and psychedelic hearts the Takeovers waste no time pushing aside the sophomore curse. In fact if you like Plastic Ono John, Wistful Paul, the fore mentioned bass player from Wire and/or Guided By Voices you�re in good hands with Bad Football.
Original mention of a release date was 6/12/2007 but it went on sale early 5/17/2007 with an anticipated ship date of 6/1/2007.
