Just got my review copy of the LYRES in the post.
It is a real first-class version of the neo-garageband
genre. Anyone at all familiar with the Neats' work on
Ace of Hearts will know the kind of serious effeort they
put into taking good gigging bands and set them in an
acoustic setting that manages to marry the sense of
"edge" that people used to talk about the "new Wave"
having before Joe "king" Carrasco lost his recording contract
and the industry began backing Berlin to the cheesy "son of
garage" sounds of the sixties. Anybody familiar with DMZ's
stuff MIGHT want to check this out, since it's most
of the same people-though different in uh, style.
