Editorial Reviews

David Bash
Welcome! In today's highly competitive, dog-chew-dog world of Pop, it's hardly enough for a band to simply generate some good old buzz. No sir, todays modern Pop Band must arrive ready-equipped with a clutch of extraordinary songs, then the ability to perform and record same in a way which downright dazzles all who may hear.

Only a handful of bands can accomplish such a daunting-indeed task. I have to believe The Masticators are one of them. Far from merely a quartet of Californians with new guitars, heres a band thats truly a genuine Gestalt phenomenon; a whole far greater than their highly disparate parts should logically allow.

Guitarist, keyboardist Patrick McGrath: genteel, sensitive, yet providing one solid, ever-ready backbone. Bass player Severo: charming and impetuous, tossing an over-the-hoop sense of physical dramedy to the entire proceedings. Drummer, producer Robbie Rist: brilliantly, exceedingly, enigmatically fun, plus a source of undying, unbridled energy. Lead singer, songwriter, guitarist Lisa Mychols: transfixing every ear and eye with one perpetual smile, as the rest of the band beats in perfect synch with her every melodic move. Oh yes - and let us not forget those songs! From the born-to-be-Wilde "Now That You're Gone" and "The One I Wanna Love," to the fully throttled "Radio Police," the calypsodic "He's The One," the deftly reflective "Help Me Dream," the magically girl-group "Never Try," the dangerously surf-punked "Kidnapper Song," and finally the coiled, dramatic tension falling through "The Rain." These Masticators have proven, at least thirteen times over on this single disc alone, their mettle as writers and performers of not only exquisite versatility, but deep-blue, delicious depth as well. So! Care to partake in the sonic treat of the year? Theres certainly plenty here for us to go around, you know. Yours in pop, David Bash (David Bash is a pop music journalist who writes for several fanzines and websites, including Amplifier, Bucketfull of Brains, Discoveries, and Pure Pop. He is also the organizer of the International Pop Overthrow Festival in Los Angeles, an annual event which features more than 100 of the best pop bands from around the world.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Lisa Mychols is Awesome!, April 26, 2003
By Swordfish "Swordfish_1957" (Wading River, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Lisa Mychols is the lead singer/songwriter on this CD. If you like Lisa on her Lost Winter's Dream CD, you'll love this! This is indie power pop at its finest!

5.0 out of 5 stars The masticators have done it again!, July 2, 2000
By Harold McGrath (Massena New york) - See all my reviews
This CD is wonderfully recorded and produced. The whole band is nysnc and is very musicly inspiring to listen to for a 64 year old musician and father of Patrick McGrath, who is a country and bluegrass musician in his own right. The vocals and music of the band are well put together. I hope to see more in the future.
