NEON - s/t |
What a shame. This album came out almost 4 years ago in Australia. I contacted the label down there numerous times about picking this CD(and others) up and they just dropped the ball passing me off to numerous people who never got to back to me. Well, continued to search for it for you all and --- while it’s not cheap as it’s import with a weak US dollar attached to it, it’s here as an option for you to check out! Produced by Steve McDonald of Redd Kross, there’s the strong sound of that band here – which IS a very, very good thing. Also, refrains of Sloan and Cheap Trick sprout up, as well as fellow Aussies, Even. “spry, sugary harmonies lock into guitars that rev like muscle cars racing over California viaducts. It's that crashing instrumentation -- the drums are pretty loud throughout -- that keeps Neon from the sometimes too-slick territory of contemporary power pop bands. An outfit like the Figgs is a better reference point. Hit Me includes two demos in addition to the studio tracks -- a crunchy-for-good-measure cover of Cheap Trick's "He's a Whore," as well as the softer pop chime of "Million Suns." – AMG.
