This review is from: Liquor Giants (Audio CD)
There are too many gems like this floating around in the Nobody's-Heard-It pool, but at least the Liquor Giants cds are still available.
Ward Dotson, formerly of Gun Club and Pontiac Brothers, runs the show here, and is the heart and soul (and voice and guitar and more) of Liquor Giants. It's simple-- this southern California band does boozy Big Star-esque power pop, and this is their best album. I give it 4-1/2 stars, with 1/2 star deduced only for three near-misses ("Copycat", if anything, should be the hidden track, not the awesome garage rocker "Hold Tight"; "Awful Good" has tremendous promise and a great verse but the chorus fizzles out; "Hey You"--no thanks). It's a trip for an Orange County native to hear British-Invasion bounce applied to a song about "Bastanchury Park", the music wants to transport you to swinging London, but the lyrics scream out "Fullerton". Weird, guilty fun. Paul Westerberg would be envious of "100 Dollar Car" ("Got no place to go/It'll get you where you are"), and the rest of this album is just fabulous, sometimes furious, sometimes jangly, crank-it-up rock. By the way, the follow-up "Every Other Day at a Time"? Not as good. But it's out there for under a buck, so get it!
