| | Screaming Blue Messiahs Gun Shy CD Screaming Blue Messiahs Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Starting off with the hyperactive pub rock sound of "Wild Blue Yonder," 1986's GUN-SHY is a great debut. Taking its cues from punk rock, the Messiahs crank up the intensity with songs like "Smash the Marketplace" and the ominous "Let's Go Out to the Woods Tonight." If GUN-SHY stumbles, it's probably because it's a tad restrained (given the energy, volume, and power these guys generated live), as if it were assumed that audiences simply might not be able to handle it all at once. Still, that's a minor complaint as this record will knock you out.
Personnel: Bill Carter (vocals, guitar); Kenneth Harris, Kenny Harris (drums).
Audio Mixer: Chris Lord-Alge.

Gun Shy album
 $6.25   
The CD contains the four songs from the bonus EP--NICK LOWE & DAVE EDMUNDS SING THE EVERLY BROTHERS--included with the original LP release.
Kindred spirits Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe had worked together extensively in different capacities in the 1970s, but their on-again/off-again band Rockpile only recorded one album, 1980's superlative SECONDS OF PLEASURE. It stands as one of the finest examples of the pub-rock/power-pop crossroads that defined the band's aesthetic. Edmunds and Lowe's American influences are worn on the sleeve (literally), as they spark new life into tunes by Chuck Berry ("Oh What a Thrill") and soul man Joe Tex ("If Sugar Was as Sweet as You").
Incredibly, the duo's own compositions stand up just as well. "When I Write the Book" would have been a standout on any classic Sam & Dave LP, and "Heart" is a finer faux-Motown piece than one could ever expect from a bunch of Brits. This 2004 reissue is spiced up with a wealth of bonus tracks, including a quartet of sterling Everly Brothers covers, where Edmunds and Lowe show off their harmony skills, and live versions of a couple of Graham Parker's more roots-conscious tunes ("Back to Schooldays," "Crawling from the Wreckage"). Even with decades of hindsight, ...

Gun Shy music CDs
$12.65
Elefant frontman Diego Garcia must have memorized nearly every song by the Cure while he was growing up, because his band's debut album, Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid, is a shameless, abstract pop mix, a solid indie pop record heavy in new wave aesthetics. Tripping Two-Tone percussion swirls around glossy synth beats, and Garcia's Morrissey-like dark vocal softness fits his passionate, undying lyrical wishes for that perfect love. One listen to the shimmery synth waves of "Tonight Let's Dance" will reel you into Garcia's storybook imagination, which is both poetically sweet and wild. ...

Gun Shy album
$10.65
At a time when music is dominated by Dance and Rap, ROCKBAND brings raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts. They are not perfect; they are ugly, dirty; vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit "Anything But Love" shows. While Seifert and Bart ferociously spit out dueling guitar riffs worthy of any punk or metal band, Tod screeches out his tales of loss, love, and apathy; bassist Sonrodes and drummer Chris Emery are a limber rhythm section that keep the music loose and powerful. ROCKBAND' music is basic and gritty, with a solid hard, bluesy base; they are dark, sleazy, dirty, and honest, everything that a good hard rock and heavy metal band should be. There is something refreshing about a band that could provoke so much devotion from fans and fellow musicians alike. There hasn't been a hard rock band this raw or talented in years, and they are given added weight by Tod's primal vocal delivery, the sound ...
