Tim Version
Ordinary Life (+7")
The Tim Versions love for The Replacements is no secret. Not only does the Florida bands name seem to reference The Replacements album Tim, the group has appeared on a Replacements tribute album. But theres more than Paul Westerberg worship happening on The Tim Versions new album, Ordinary Life. Equally reminiscent of the grizzled twang of Lucero and the tattered anthems of Against Me!, Ordinary Life is a raucous yet brooding document of rootsy punk, best heard on the tear-stained, bittersweet track "Funny Movies," which is being debuted here. The Replacements influence is faint, but theres no denying The Tim Version is achin to be as smart, spirited, and shambolic as its hero.
