Sucker (2014 Bad Reputation Records / Atomic A Go Go Records) is the latest release from Phoenix garage act The Love Me Nots. The album title is a dedication to all those poor souls who have been - or still are - suckers in love. For the first time in five years, these new recordings feature all of the original band members: Nicole Laurenne (vocals/organ), Michael Johnny Walker (guitar), Christina Nunez (bass), and Jay Lien (drums). Sucker, recorded by Bob Hoag in Phoenix and mastered by Jim Diamond in Detroit, represents a full-blown return to the raw, pounding, blues-influenced garage sound of 2007’s In Black & White and 2008’s DETROIT. The Love Me Nots are back. Get ready to rock, suckers.
