The Longshot, the punk-inflected power pop side-project masterminded by Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and rounded out by Green Day touring guitarist Jeff Matika on bass, Kevin Preston on guitar and David S. Field on drums, first surfaced in February 2018, followed by the sudden release of a three-song EP in early April. The group quickly issued the fun and freewheeling full-length Love Is for Losers digitally in April which makes its vinyl debut here. Free of the massive expectations that come with his day job, Love Is for Losers and cuts like "Taxi Drive," "Love Is for Losers" and "Chasing a Ghost" find Armstrong and Co. playing straight-up pop-inspired rock with classic rock and country influences as prevalent as the punk.
