Long time Not Lamers - ones from the 90s - will recognize the name of the
band THE GOODS. Jim Camacho was the leader of that Florida-based band. It`s
a warm, familiar feeling for me listening to impassioned, piano-drive
melodies on "Beachfront Defeat" as all the elements that endeared me to The
Goods are here, refined by years of life going by bringing the temperance of
so-called wisdom. Camacho has a rough-hewed voice that works perfecting
inside his pounding (he hits `em hard like Joe Jackson) ivories. This is
modern day rock that, if radio embraced veterans like Camacho, people
listening to the songs on their radios would respond to. His material has
always had that effect.
"Beachfront Defeat" is a culmination of all the memorable music upon which
he`s built his reputation... the aching emotions, the heart-wrenching
melodies, the exquisite arrangements... the things that have made him one of
the most indelible performers in the indie-rock music scene. Melodic and
pop-driven, Camacho`s signature allegiance to straightforward melodies is
the backbone of Beachfront. Jim Camacho is all about having great pop
sensibility with a serious knack for melody. The passion here is palpable,
the energy and intensity riveting and enthralling. His music will grow on
you. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
