What we say
THE ROCKS 7" 'Heartbreak City' is now on the deck... I'm not terribly impressed. I'm getting a slight Buzzcocks vibe on this one with the guitar sounding like Bernard Butler. It follows a very traditional rock / pop formula. Not incredibly inventive but I can see this being popular for all the wrong reasons. The guitar solo has me heading for the flipside....crikey. If I wasn't feeling so happy about the potential fun possibilities of my weekend jaunt then I'd probably be really cruel to this record. I'll restrain myself simply by saying that I struggle to find any emotion, any depth or anything remotely interesting here. Fear not though readers. I'm not about to pour molten lead into my my ear cavities. 7" and CD on Weekender Records. What the label says:Driven by an unholy collision of the pop suss of Motown and the punk ethics of the best of '76, Heartbreak City is just under four minutes of classic pop awaiting plaudits and, as such, is the best possible introduction to the band. Backed by a live studio recording of Jonathan Richman's classic I Was Dancing In the Lesbian Bar, The Rocks inhabit a world where tunes rule but only with a decent undercurrent of menace and distortion. |
