Weasel Popmeister says:Music people used to talk about bands having a "sound," and this generally meant they sounded unique and recognizable. I don't hear that term so much these days, but I gotta use it here. Spunge is a band with a sound. Din hipped me to their trip a while back, and when I heard this song, I knew it was them instantly. It has a lot to do with their singer, and the way the band crushes behind him. "Happy Ending" is our Winner at the MP3 Jackpot today.
