The Potatomen "That Girl"The Potatomen were more a band known for who was in the band rather then their music. If Larry Livermore did not own the label, Lookout! would have probably never put out The Potatomen's music. Especially if you look at the other bands they were releasing at the time (Weasel, Avail, MTX,The Queers, etc) The Potatomen would have definitely been a hard sell with Larry Livermore's Morrisseyesque jangly pop tunes. The Potatomen were more straight pop then anything else. The Queers later went on to cover "That Girl" on their album "Move Back Home". While most people may know The Queers cover the original is a gem.

I like this album, I put "Won't You Bee" on my music blog as well as a picture of them toasting with beers in hands. The album "Now" is pretty good its pop punk enough and came right before the potatomen went on their Smiths kick, I think it stands just fine brother.
