The 1986 Listening Post - Eastenders - Contenders

Easterhouse - Contenders



#247/1372
June 27 1986
Easterhouse
Contenders
Genre: Rock
3.5 out of 5


Highlights:
Out On Your Own

Is this The Smiths? The Cure? The Chameleons?

That’s the problem here. I wanna love it cuz they sound so much like those bands at their tightest. But, dang it, it just isn’t AS good as those bands at their best. There’s a reason I said “Easterwhat?” when I read this band’s name. There’s some good jangle in there but it’s a muddy, poorly mixed mess. 
Dang it.
