JIM CAMACHO - Beachfront Defeat

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!
