can't say i hear any robert pollard on this record, but lots of other influences. i get a very strong early kinks and the wrens whenever i put it on. definitely is rooted in the 60's, and i might add, sometimes teeters on hokey in the later tracks. "ain't it good to feel love" is a beaut.

3.5 stars. imagine a cross between evan dando and rob pollard. i've followed these guys since seeing them in cincy back in 2005 at the midpoint music festival (when they were known as "this band is called the you"). pure tone signed them later that year and released this album - some remastered older material along with some new tracks. definitely a strong start although verbanets seems to be finding his voice. he writes admirably in many different forms, although only a couple of the tracks are absolute standouts. end of an era and lindsay schwartz are my personal favorites. although the cd is out of print, i'd encourage anyone to pick up a used copy or download the mp3's (from amazon only $5.99). looking forward to more releases from this promising band.
