THE KRAYOLAS - Best Riffs Only

A big find for fans of late 70�s/early 80s skinny tie power pop! A pioneering '70s power pop garage band. They were hailed as Tex-Mex Beatles for their vocal harmonies and raw, youthful sound. This material is compiled during the years 1977-1988 and you�ll hear plenty of the power poppin� sounds of The Rubinoos, Titan and Bomp Records during this time. �Their music has a joyous, unpretentious quality that makes every cut a treat.�Trouser Press. "Best Riffs Only: The Krayolas 1977-1988" compiles long-unavailable, out-of-print indie vinyl singles and rare album tracks for the first time. Some of it dates back 30 years, most of it is a quarter century old. The title of the new, 16-song collection comes from a bit of advice that Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds gave the band when they played together at the historic Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa in the late '70s. Taking a step back and listening to the disparate collection that only hints at the Krayolas onstage power, their essence is irresistible. It's direct-to-the-brain power pop and garage band rock -- young, raw, energetic, upbeat, charming, campy and fun. Always melodic, the Krayolas easy-to-hum sound puts a smile on your face. It's timeless. The Krayolas are timeless. VERY Highly Recommended!
