Liverpooldians
Glass Torpedoes only stuck around long to give us three singles, this being the first. Nestled in a near-perfect sweet spot between punk and powerpop, the Torps vaguely suggested what the Undertones would have amounted to had they been fronted by the fairer sex.
Barbara Donovan leads her boy compatriots on a pair of incessantly catchy mid-tempo aces, "Someone Different" and "Morning, Noon and Night" with convincing but charmingly casual aplomb. The flipside is a bit mindless, largely an instrumental punctuated with redundant waves of "whoa-oh's." The two aforementioned full-fledged keepers however are a different story, and make this band's dearth of a full length a minor tragedy.
A1. Someone Different
A2. Morning, Noon and Night
B. Heart Surgery

Thank you. You were probably kidding, but just in case, the demonym for people from Liverpool is Liverpudlian.
