Hmm. I was hoping it'd be a Nick Lowe cover.

This was reggae-ish song from the late 80s, but will this do?

A+. That was my first thought when I saw that title, too!

Song is excellent. I cannot wait to hear the full album. I dig "Victim of Me" but this is the better of the two songs, by far. This will be the album of 2016, IMO!

Hmm. I much prefer the other song. To me, this one is pleasantly melodic without any kind of memorable hook -- like Descendents-by-numbers. Different strokes . . .

To me it's just a classic Bill Stevenson tune. I'm excited to hear the rest.

I think Milo is singing better than ever. Love his vocals on the chorus.
Can't wait to hear the production work properly. Sounds great so far.
As far as serious, mid-tempo Bill tuneage goes, it's a good one but it's no "Become the Enemy"

Funny you mention that tune. This song reminds me of something that would've been on that Lemonheads record, in a great way.

I've gone on record that "Become the Enemy" is a perfect song, so it's not a real knock to say this one isn't quite up to that very high standard. I dig it.

I share your opinion, scannest. I like the entirety of that Lemonheads record, but that's the one song that always stood out on it for me. Thus, it's no wonder why I like "Without Love" so much. Wait until you all hear the rest of this record.
