The Cuts are four twenty-somethings from Oakland, California, who make some of the best garage pop that you`ll find today. This album is the perfect distillation of garage pop, proto-punk, power pop, `70s glam and West coast jangle. It`s a perfect rock n` roll record, with sweeping, swirling guitar lines, a deep groove, great melodies and hooks aplenty. Andy Jordan yelps `n` gulps like a less angst-ridden Richard Hell (or a less precious Tom
Verlaine) while the band cranks out songs overflowing with lavender keyboards, Raspberries-esque harmonies, chiming guitars and shuffling, danceable up-beats. You know, that lovely stuff that smokes-n-boogies, too, just like they used to make. From Here On Out is a stunning collection showcasing the band`s delightful tunefulness on a range of fine tracks. But despite their obvious songwriting savvy and overt pop leanings, The Cuts pound away in such a non-wimpy manner that there`s no question what they`re making is genuine rock `n` roll music. They might just be the best exemplar of this kind of tuneful dynamism since the `70s heyday of artists like Nick Lowe, The Talking Heads, Sparks and The Shoes. Indeed, The Cuts could easily be destined for the same kind of mass appeal. The Cuts` wild sonic tantrums and lust-scorched anthems are so soaked in Nuggets history it`s hard to believe they weren`t conceived in the same fertile musical ground that produced bands like the Sonics and ? and the Mysterians. But the kicker is they bring the sounds of bands like Supergrass and a glammy texture(think
soundtrack of Velvet Goldmine) into the fascinating mix. "here`s a joyful
chaos in the hard-rocking cuts, as textures of piano, guitar, bass and vocal vie for air space, and a thoughtful tranquility in the slower ones. None of these songs break any new ground. They`d all sound perfectly comfortable on the radio, circa 1975 or so. Still, it`s good psyche pop, radiantly played and happy to the core, the kind of thing that makes summer afternoons so enjoyable."-Dusted.
