Sportique :: The Kids Are Solid Gold 7" [Roxy Records, 1998]

I'm gonna try to get back in the habit of posting old singles more frequently, because it's fun and I like to share the songs I love with you guys and yeah! No better way to jump back into than with this single from Sportique. Sportique were an indiepop all-star team of sorts, formed back in 1997 by Gregory Webster (Razorcuts), Mark Flunder (TVPs), and Rob Pursey (Heavenly). "The Kids Are Solid Gold" was released almost ten years ago now (!) on Roxy Records. It was the band's second (and very best ever) single, their first released the year before on Where It's At Is Where You Are. The single's title track remains unmatched by any other track Sportique ever recorded, in my opinion. The b-side, "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" is a great tune as well, but nothing beats the brilliant end of "The Kids Are Solid Gold." It should be an anthem, really, and you should listen to it immediately if you never have!
