Out of the whirlwind of Athens comes this band that sounds like they should have been on everyone’s turntable who loved Pylon and REM. I mean just listen to that hippy dippy angular goofballness of the opening track. They all drank from the same damned well. You could pick up one guitarist and shove him in a different band.I never saw Athens, Ga, Inside Out. If I had I would know these guys, they were in it. Along with Kilkenney Cats and Dream So Real, etc. The cream really rose in the mid 80s and REM wasn’t able to take pretty much anyone in their wake.
This one is not really an exception. But it does sound like all of the other bands, especially on “Party Train” which is their version of a B-52s meets REM song.
