WHAT WE PLAY:
Electric white-light pop rock efflorescing from real ringing telephones, slamming car
doors, and the rain-wet concrete streets and soaring buildings of the vicious city! Interests
include torn panty hose, cracked windshields, lipstick, and your favorite foreign movie.
WHAT THEY SAY:
“The sort of thing you might have found on a major, or great regional examples of, back
between 1978-81, somewhere on the shelf between The Beat and The Cars.
Recommended.” —Still Single
“Power-punk-pop gems.” —WFMU
“Like if the Warriors were a rock band instead of a gang.” —Advanced Demonology
“So good that if it was a 1-900 number I’d call it to hear this stuff!” —Roctober
“A bounce in their step like the character Lou Reed played on Coney Island Baby sans
the peroxide, cop shades and a sentiment that was really hard to believe.” —Smashin’
Transistors
