I am digging these guys more and more, they sound less like a frat band on CD than they do live. I think tileboy's two songs are more art rock than I recall them being.

These guys sound great. Early 80's post-punk / garage.

I think Sally has her finger on it. Using some Boston references, maybe a revved up Neats, with a dash of Real Kids and DMZ.

I think the lead guitar owes a huge nod to Mick Ronson. See my post from 10-29 of last year for a free download of "Answer To Yourself":

Heh, I guess I said "Modern Lovers" already a couple years ago. Which reminds me, where the hell is rotators?

I think their sound is closer to the early Stooges, especially the vocal delivery. Refer to the first Stooges album. [:)]

I knew in the recesses of my mind there was a post about them. My problem is the recesses of my mind only go back about 30 seconds.[:)]
