About the Artist

The members of Lemons are Yellow came out of the burgeoning music scene in San Diego, CA. The band quickly rose to great popularity among fellow high-school students, with their off-beat lyrics, glam presentation, and punk-fueled sound on such tunes as "I've got a Hyper Dog," a literal showstopper because this part of the live set usually included a mixture of kerosene and chew toys. As time went on, the music scene in San Diego had changed dramatically, leading guitarist P. Kaufman to come up with a concept for a new Lemons Are Yellow. Together with the remaining core of the band, D. Fleminger (guitar, vocals), K. Martin (bass guitar, vocals), and E. Meares (drums), they began to experiment at the outer limits of multiple musical styles. "I wanted people to either laugh or cry when they saw us," said Fleminger, referring to their use of frightening stage props and odd time signatures. This experimentation led to the crafting of the ideas and tunes which would! later become the ambitious 20-song concept album they would call "Destroy All Music". “Destroy All Music” is forward-looking, yet displays nostalgia for the heady days of the San Diego music explosion. Sit back and enjoy this album, and let it transport you to warm sunny days in “America's Finest City”. Lemons are Yellow will soon be coming to your town: when they do, look out. Their performances still Destroy All Music.

About time that a band with grit and the musical chops to prove it put out a CD. These days you can't swing a cat without hitting some kewpie doll belting out tunes about a life they have not been around long enough to actually experience. Thank the Maker that Lemons Are Yellow has produced a concept album that really rocks. Perhaps Destroy All Music may actually end up saving it;>
