This is just about a perfect rock record, for me, anyway. Hypnotic but not boring, tough as nails but with the sweetest harmonies, amazing guitars, a monster modified Bo Diddley groove (those hand claps! those maracas and tambourine!), and that fabulous Kinks/Yardbirds rave-up at the end. Goosebump time from stem to stern.
If I was still in a band somewhere (don't worry, not a chance) this is the sort of song I'd want to open a gig with, is what I'm saying.

Goosebumps indeed! Also digging the Gene Clark era Byrds channeling.
If half the songs are as good as this A New Devotion will be a worthy album to download.
Wonderful! A nice combo of garage sound and power pop. By all rights this should have been burning up the radio airwaves...
Is the rest of the album as good?

Okay, the clip is back up. The old ones will be up as well this time tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience...
Nice. I have (I think) their second LP and it's ho-hum. Looks like I got the wrong one!
