The Virginia Sisters do the impossible. When a band proudly declares their inspirations as being Warren Zevon, Graham Parker, some of The Figgs and early Elvis Costello, guess what? They have our attention. It`s even better when said influences actually yield results consistent with the heralded proclamation. "Last Pathetic Fool" further pushes the envelope of musical surprise recalling the halcyon days mid 70`s British pub-rock and bring razor-sharp commitment to crafting songs that not only have lasting aural reward but fall into classic status that few artists dare to challenge themselves towards.
Lead songwriter/guitarist Roy Anderson confidently has presented a collection of such well-written and conceived song-writing prowess, that this debut album leaves us breathless with the possibility of further such greatness on the near horizon. From Ft. Collins, Colorado, home of Not Lame Recordings, The Virginia Sisters are the first band from Colorado in 10 years we`ve ever worked with. Such are the joys of mountain towns that Not Lame honcho Bruce Brodeen tripped across the band as he parked his car for work one day and, upon hearing music coming from an abandoned garage was
shocked to encounter muffled greatness. Hey, it`s no The Beatles coming
into Brian Epstein`s music store, but it`s pretty darn close in our mythological delusion. Bottom Line: great songs, classic 70`s power pop and pub-rock melodies and tough hooks have the The Virginia Sisters bringing the pulse-beat and excitement of days-gone-by vibrantly back into the present. The simple joys in rock `n roll are sometimes the most sublimely enjoyable.
