http://www.notlame.com/CDLODE1.htmlLodestar - JehovahcaineONE COPY LEFT AND THIS GONE, sorry---no backorders. <p> Sounding vaguely familiar - like Tommy Keene in the vocal and guitar sound sector of pop plane landings - Lodestar load up a churning, propulsive and muscled Matthew Sweet pop that sounds influenced by the hard hitting Minneapolis bands like Husker Du in a pop mood and mid-era Soul Asylum. A combustible mix that works as the whirling, glammy appeal connects w/cathartic pop melding. Locomotive pop fury combining a sound reminiscent of poppy Ride meets Velvets(that is Velvet Crush, not The Velvet Underground) inspired pop, Lodestar are firmly guitar based and screw w/pop formulae and introduce all sorts of cool sounds as each song whips up a new recollection of bands like Heavens To Murgatroid, newer Tommy Keene, Insanity Wave and bands like the Critics. In other words, Heart Of America pop bands who make chewy, tuneful crash and burn driving rocking pop. Excellent!http://www.notlame.com/Lodestar/Page_1/CDLODE1.html
