No Win, the solo venture ex-FIDLAR drummer Danny Nogueiras, rocks like its 1996, unleashing his inner Weezer on songs he made in his Echo Park studio along with Max Kuehn (current FIDLAR drummer) and bassist David Jerkovich (Kind of Like Spitting). No Win’s crunchy power-pop recalls another drummer who knows his pop hooks, Seattle’s Michael Benjamin Lerner (Telekinesis). No Win’s first three songs rattle with both youthful exuberance and the smarts of somebody who’s paid his dues manning the kit in other bands. And of his new song “Shelley Duvall,” Nogueiras simply says: “Shelley Duvall is the best!” Hmm, “3 Women,” “Annie Hall” or “The Shining”?
