 (1 Customer Review)
Robbers on High Street deliver a crunchy set of genuine rock & roll spirit on their debut EP, Fine Lines. The New York foursome refrain from going for that fashion-slick city sound made popular in the new millennium by the likes of the Strokes and Interpol. Honestly, Fine Lines is a solid record because the band is tight enough to pull it off without anything other than what they're offering: cinematic lyrics soaked in surefire guitar licks from frontman Ben Trokan and Steven Mercado. Bassist Jeremy Phillips and drummer Tomer Danan accentuate Fine Lines' elasticity, therefore suggesting that Robbers on High Street are confident in their craft. Don't quickly dismiss it as cockiness. Fine Lines is based more on an imaginative desire to formulate, carefully and correctly, a design that's fresh. Songs such as the majestic horn-laden "A Night at Star Castle" and "Debonair"'s dark pop flair succeed in that. "Hot Sluts (Say I Love You)" is their most glossy post-punk moment; however, it doesn't revel in it for too long. Trokan's slight vocal gravel on this album standout is much too romantic for it to fall culprit to formulated swagger. Like Longwave did with The Strangest Things, Robbers on High Street master their approach in getting a "full" rock & roll sound on Fine Lines. Talk about the passion. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
Robbers On High Street: Ben Trokan (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Steve Mercado (guitar); Jeremy Phillips (bass); Tomer Danan (drums).

Fine Lines album
 $9.55 
Irving has such an affinity for '60s dreamy pop and its followers that the band could easily be a link from originators such as the Zombies to newcomers such as Beachwood Sparks. Not only that, "L-O-V-E" was co-produced by Andy Paley (Brian Wilson, Jonathan Richman), resulting in a garage-inspired swirl of rock. These five songwriters and singers from Los Angeles (the first band for each member) have assembled a worthy debut that reveals tons of influence from Elephant 6 bands (especially from Neutral Milk Hotel) but also possesses the chamber pop of Belle & Sebastian. "Turn of the Century" and "Did I Ever Tell You I'm in Love With Your Girlfriend" rejoice with glee and bouncy "ba ba bas." They're not quite Elephant 6 material, yet Irving doesn't quite fit into country psychedelia à la Beachwood Sparks either. Good Morning Beautiful falls somewhere in between, drawing from the best of both worlds. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
Showcasing clever lyricism and engaging melodies, Good Morning Beautiful is a sure-fire indie pop ...

| | Hood Outside Closer CD (2005)
Fine Lines music CDs
$11.65
Atop the modernist disco beat and lush strings of "The Negatives," Hood urges listeners to escape to the furthest place from their house until their spirit completely breaks, and then to "watch the birds fly round, just like the first time." It could well serve as the band's prerequisite for creating intense and innovative glitch-pop masterpieces.
Listening to a new Hood album tends to be like hearing the band for the first time. Like its British ...

| | Warren Zevon Excitable Boy CD (1978) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Fine Lines album
$11.85
Warren Zevon came roaring out of the '70s touchy-feely California singer-songwriter gene pool with one hand on the piano and the other waving a pistol. While his more genteel peers were primarily concerned with taking it easy, Zevon crawled under the seedy side of L.A. and poured it into his ivories, taking in every ounce of decadence and excess. Although the weight the underworld would eventually all but break him, EXCITABLE BOY finds Zevon empowered by his surroundings.
The terrain is unsettling, bizarre and often soaked with blood. Stalking across the landscape are pina colada-sipping werewolves, headless mercenaries, and desperate gamblers. That the sound and overall musical mood of the record is upbeat underscores Zevon's ability to attach a winning melody to a gallow's tale. The home runs are the instantly memorable "Werewolves of London," the murderous glee of "Excitable Boy," and the affecting "Accidentally Like a Martyr." The inclusion of obvious filler cuts detract from the overall focus of the record but that is a small complaint. After all, it takes a special man to turn a tale of rape and murder into a cheery singalong.
Warren Zevon's self-titled 1976 album announced he was one of the most striking talents to emerge from the Los Angeles soft rock singer/songwriter community, and Linda Ronstadt (a shrewd judge of talent if a sometimes questionable interpreter) recorded three of its songs on two of her biggest-selling albums, which doubtlessly earned Zevon bigger royalty checks than the album itself ever did. But if Warren Zevon was an impressive calling card, the follow-up, Excitable Boy, was an actual hit, scoring one major hit single, "Werewolves of London," and a trio of turntable hits ("Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," "Lawyers, Guns and Money," and the title track). But while Excitable Boy won Zevon the larger audience his music certainly deserved, the truth is it was a markedly inferior album; while it had all the bile of Warren Zevon, and significantly raised Zevon's dark-humor factor, it was often obvious where his previous album had been subtle, and while all 11 tracks on Warren Zevon were strong and compelling, two of the nine tunes on Excitable Boy -- "Johnny Strike Up the Band" ...
