Lazy Crapification

On the twentieth anniversary of their founding in 1988, DUPOBS release

Win Some Lose Some, their fourth album since reuniting in 2002. This is make it or break it time for DUPOBS, a group that has gained critical recognition from the likes of Scotland’s Momus and Japan’s DeliciouSweets, but has yet to deliver a top-40 hit. Hot on the heels of 2007’s industrial-tinged Le Sex L’Ove, DUPOBS return to their rock roots, with a tip of the hat to Foreigner, Loverboy, and John Cougar Mellencrap. Containing more than a few super-catchy pop-rock tunes, Win Some Lose Some could be the breakthrough DUPOBS has been waiting for. And it’s not just the music. This time, DUPOBS pulls out all the stops, with innovative album packaging – made by a groundbreaking new technique called “lazy crapification” – and a fan-donated video for “Our Friendship Is Going To Grow”:

Other tracks with hit potential include “Run Down Home Town (Doin’ Good By His Hometown)”, and “We’re Just A Bunch Of Fun Guys Until We Kick Your Head In, Fat”. Keep your eyes and ears open in the weeks and months to come, as DUPOBS release Win Some Lose Some song by song on Last FM. Spread the word and help DUPOBS make history by giving regressive music the profile it deserves.
