The Lyres - Happy Now...

De volta aos posts, dessa vez com um disco dos excepcionais Lyres. Formados em 1979 por Jeff 'Monoman' Connely (ex integrante do fantástico DMZ), encarregado dos vocais e do órgão e único membro permanente da banda, que já contou até mesmo com o lendário Stiv Bators. Lançado em 1993 pela Taang! Records, o som do disco não é muito diferente do resto da discografia da banda, 60s punk com toneladas de órgão e eventuais guitarras de 12 cordas, com covers dos Stones, Isley Brothers, Phil & the Frantics and Bo Diddley.

Back to the posts, this time with a album by the outstanding Lyres. Formed in 1979 by Jeff 'Monoman' Connely (ex-member of the fantastic DMZ), in charge of vocals and organ and the only permanent member of the band, that has counted with the legendary Stiv Bators amongst it's ranks. Released in 1993 by Taang! Records, the sound of the album doesn't drift away from the rest of their discography, 60s punk with tons of organ and eventual 12-string guitars, counting with covers by the Stones, the Isley Brothers, Phil & the Frantics and Bo Diddley.

The Pandoras - It's About Time

Coletânea lançada pela Voxx records contendo o primeiro LP + 2 EPs e 3 faixas inéditas dessa banda genial liderada pela maravilhsa Paula Pierce e seu rosnado fantástico, esse cd contem as faixas mais garageiras da banda (o segundo LP tinha um som mais bem produzido, mas ainda excelente, e os lançamentos posteriores caíram no hair metal, caminho seguido por várias bandas da época). Uma das músicas mais legais do revival foi gravada por essas garotas que chutam a bunda de muito marmanjo metido a caveman por aí, a maravilhosa Hot Generation. Depois de uma promessa de contrato com a Elektra que acabou dando errado, a banda gravou dois discos de hair metal horrível e chegou a um fim trágico em 1991, quando a vocalista e principal compositora Paula Pierce morreu em decorrência de problemas cardíacos, aos 31 anos, mas duas das integrantes montaram a banda pop punk The Muffs . Todas as faixas são excelentes e há ainda uma "entrevista" que é, basicamente, a banda gemendo e gritando enquanto um apresentador esforçado tenta conseguir algo além disso.

Comp released by Voxx records containing the first LP, two EPs and 3 unreleased tracks by this incredible band leaded by the wonderful Paula Pierce and her fantastic snarl, this CD has their most garage-ish material (their 2nd LP had a better production, though it's still amazing, and their other releaseds leaned to the hair metal ways, a common path followed by 80s bands). One of my favourite revivalist songs' was recorded by these girls that kick a lot of caveman-wannabe wankers in this world, the wondrful Hot Generation. After a promise of a deal with Elektra that never happened, the band recorded two horrible hair metal albums and came to a sad end in 1991, when the lead singer and composer, Paula Pierce, died of cardiac complications, at age 31, though two of the band members went to form the pop punk band The Muffs. All the tracks are excellent and there's still a "interview" that consists, basically, of the band moaning and screaming while a persistent interviewer tries to get something besides that.
