No Deluxe Nothing - My Lovely Wife Disarray

Canada`s No Deluxe Nothing is a national secret and we`re perplexed, after listening to "My Lonely Wife Disarray" a bunch of times the last few weeks, as to why no one in the power pop world is the least bit aware of these guys. Let`s change this because No Deluxe Nothing has a most unique sound, which is best described as a power poppin` version of The Police during their " Zenyatta Mondatta" period. They remind us of bit of The Well Wishers/Spinning Jennies, as well as Barenaked Ladies, even Sugar, in parts. They utilize a sonice assult `n barrage of crushing, sharp but melodic guitar riffs and sweet flowing melodies(singer sounds a bit like Sting, but not cloying solo Sting-again, more classic ethereal Police-styled sound).

No Deluxe Nothing crafts some sublime, slower songs, too - it`s not all hooky, slashing slendery tight melodies cut like a Ginzu knife but some slower songs really hit the mark, too("Pathetic", "New Design"). It must be hard for Canadian pop bands for magazines and radio to take note of these sounds, but in the Not Lame world this sounds mighty, mighty fine. There`s excitement, energy in all the tracks which will invite you into their party of frenetic, hard driving crunchy rocking pop and sweet good fun. Extremely Highly Recommended!
