Okay, this one came out a few years ago, but there are so many new people in
the Not Lame family and I just happened to listen to this on my Ipod a few
days ago and was just majorly digging it, I am making it my mission to 2005
release from The Rudds! We absolutely loved, loved their out of print
self-titled debut and cool as that was(and it was!), this one leaves that in
the dust! This could hold up to make my Top 10 or 20 of the year, we`ll
see..but in the meantime, Real, good old fashion rock `n roll in the vein of
The Figgs, the first Cheap Trick album, Spymob, A.C Newman and The New
Pornographers, classic early The Tubes, Todd Rundgren playing Raspberries,
Hall and Oates and Prince (a very good thing here, trust us!) and a bit of
the Replacements. In fact, so many of the consistently astounding and
excellent songs here are as classic as the best in many of these listed
bands` catalogs! "The Rudds constructs three-minute pop tunes that take
their obvious inspiration from Cheap Trick. Their sound, though, is a little
heavier but just as melodic. Discerning listeners can catch everything from
Journey to Green Day to Frank Zappa. That is no knock on the band as the
guys crank it up and take on the persona of the funny kid in the back of the
classroom."-Boston Phoenix. OH yeah, it gets better. Member of the
band? On guitar, give it up for Brett Rosenberg. There are no "filler" songs
put on "Get The Femuline Hang On". All 12 songs belong. Produced by Tony
Goddess of Papas Fritas and John Powhida(the visionary and leader of the
band) and featuring such immense talents as Bleu, Probyn
Gregory(Wondermints, Brian Wilson Band) and Mike Gent Of The Figgs, The
Rudds have produced a true tour-de-massive-pop-force that is to be reckoned
with. Just listen to what we`ve put before your ears below. Cruise them all,
hear what you think! We think it does the talking better than typing more
words other than, righteously Extremely Highly Recommended, big time!
