This is the fourth and pinnacle release from the Puyallup Powerhouse Instant Winner.
The 5 years since their last release have proven they’ve been busy developing their sound - now the perfect combination of their trademark high-energy punch, with a mature new stage obvious in the songwriting. This is amazingly melodic, classically rock-driven powerpop at it’s finest.

Love the horns, vocals, and the energy! Great new Seattle sound that will hopefully be heard here in Califonia soon!

Very carefully constructed...Instant Winner has thankfully re-entered my life
author: NWbands.com
Instant Winner mixes sounds from multiple genres; I don’t know whether to skank, mosh or headbang to their music, but deciding how to dance is about the only thing I am unsure about when it comes to this band. Thirteen Times is a veritable melting pot of different styles and sounds, ranging everywhere from metal riffs, to ska chords, to driving hard rock rhythms, and at one point even incorporates a pseudo-hardcore sing-along (in the song "Just Once"). This mish-mash blend of varying sounds gives the album a much more balanced feel than much of their previous work and gives each song its own unique identity. Just when I think I've got their sound and style figured out, the song will change and I'll find myself just as baffled as I was a few minutes prior.
This 2007 release is a bit of a blast from the past (and I mean that in a very good way); the album has some solid roots in the late 90’s. Most prominent is the variety of Neal’s vocal styles, some late 90’s emo with a rock edge.
