Curious about Modey Lemon?!?!

Advantages: Awe inspiring art-rock
Disadvantages: Once you've listened to this you'll have to buy their first!

...have Modey Lemon. The Curious City opens with an awesome riff and ends on a sixteen minute epic poetical journey... Phil Boyd, Jason Kirker and Paul Quattrone are the guys that make up this awesome three piece. They hail from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and this is their second full length release in the UK. After the success of their first album, Thunder and Lightning, they have taken that same raw energy with the crunching guitar riffs and crazy ...
...will especially enjoy this The Curious City... Track Listing: 1. Bucket of Butterflies 2. Sleepwalkers 3. In Another Land 4. Mr. Mercedes 5. Fingers, Drains 6. Red Lights 7. In the Cemetery 8. Mountain Mist 9. Countries 10. Trapped Rabbits If you ever get the chance to see Modey Lemon live - go. You will not be disappointed by their performance!! ...

Electronic Sorcerer

Advantages: Superb guitars, fabulous drum work and a diverse set of songs
Disadvantages: None yet.

...‘Crows’, the opening track of Thunder & Lightning’, sets the pace of the album brilliantly. Each second that passes by on this song brings rolling blasts of intensity that evoke influences from so many genres that it would be pure folly to try and list them all here. Inevitably with their distorted, chainsaw guitars and heavy, erratic drumbeats Modey Lemon have been lumbered with the tag ‘garage rock’. In fact, their music could not be further from ...
...of ‘garage bands’. The first five tracks on the album scorch a trail through your brain and pass in no time at all. The title track ‘Thunder & Lightning’ with its bluesy feel and comic electronic bass, which simply will not relent its hold on you, is a masterpiece to behold. Follow this up with the violent and angry ‘Enemy’ with its sneering vocals and a Thor-like fury of drums from Paul Quattrone and you have one hell of an opening for an album. ...

A String of Pseudo Pearls

Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits
Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now

...on soul music. A String of Pearls Going back to my dad’s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called “Guilty”. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges’ wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was wiped, as so many “Top of the Pops” episodes were prior ...
...that their compilation CD “A String of Pearls” had to be worth a punt if only to reminisce about my childhood. The album has 24 tracks, including all singles and B-sides the girls recorded. To the best of my knowledge the Pearls never released an album in the seventies so there are no obvious “album tracks” but there are several curiosities if you are familiar with music from the early 1970s. The overall sound is of close harmonies and pseudo Phil ...

Brilliant!!!

Advantages: MOst creative thing I've heard in a long time!
Disadvantages: I wish there were more songs!

Brilliant!!! This whole concept is amazing! The Sex Presleys take some of Elvis' best songs, rearrange them, and play them as if the Sex Pistols would have played them. It's a bizarre and fantastic mix that rocks even harder than the Sex Pistols did... really! I've been grabbing for this cd over my "Never Mind the Bullocks" for the past few weeks. "Teddy Bear" takes "Anarchy in the UK" and makes it move and rock way harder than the Pistols ever did. ...
...with "Pretty Vacant" for what I think is the best song on the disc. It starts out with a huge sounding version of "Pretty Vacant" then launchers you into a wild Elvis ride that you have to listen to again and again. "Heartbreak Hotel" is layered over "God Save the Queen" and works so incredibly well that I wouldn't even believe that the two were separate songs and the Sex Presleys version was a weird cover if I wasn't familiar with the material. ...
