I haven't quite figured out exactly how to categorize these guys -- rock? punk? glam? retro '80s? some organic mix of all of the preceding? -- and whatever they're doing is not usually my cup of pekoe. But for some reason, I found the above highly entertaining, probably because I just like their attitude. Which I guess makes it rock 'n' roll, right?
I should add that I am reliably informed that the band formed when four lead guitar players got together and they flipped a coin (heh) to see who would sing and play the drums and bass. Makes sense to me!
In any case, it's a very cool single (and video -- I want the front guy's black Les Paul gold top, BTW); they don't have an album yet, but as they get closer to one I'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize© will be awarded the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's weekend essay question.
Songs you would hate if they were done by Def Leppard?

Sal — Ithought exactly the same thing.😎
ReplyDeleteAnswer songs to other songs? (See "I Hate Myself for Loving You" by Joan Jett?)
ReplyDeleteMaybe there really isn’t anything new left to be said/created in the rock and roll genre. It may sound great but not sound like a new area of rock to explore.

Now you guess- Am I bitter or just bored? Or both.
