The Tubs

Jangle rock in the hands of U.K.'s The Tubs is an unexpected world of possibility. Charter members of London's loose confederation of musicians known as Gob Nation, the songwriting team of Owen Williams and George Nicholls—both formerly of the now defunct Welsh noise pop band Joanna Gruesome—along with drummer Taylor Stewart and bassist Max Warren, have mastered the art of setting tortured doubts to soaring, generally sweet melodies on their second album, Cotton Crown. No song better showcases this than "One More Day," which is paced like a more desperate version of R.E.M.'s "It's The End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)." This impassioned plea for another chance is meant for a love interest who sounds like no Juliet, "And I thought of you in the dark/ Laughing, vaping in the dark/ Coughing, wheezing in my arms."

A teen and his friends get into trouble for vandalizing the Hollywood sign, and rather than going to prison he opts to work for his uncle's hot tub repair company. The sleazy salesman drums up business by sabotaging the tubs at Hollywood Hot Tubs and by wooing the owner. The nephew begins falling in love with the secretary at his uncle's company, but risks losing her when caught in compromising but unintentional situations while he goes about his duties as tub repairman.
