The 1981 Listening Post - Flamin' Oh's - Oh!

Flamin' Oh's - Oh! 




1980 Housekeeping

Flamin’ Oh’s

Oh!

Genre: Power Pop Rock

3.25 out of 5


Highlights:

I’m a Medical Mess (with Only Six Weeks Left)

I’m the Gun


Ugh, where do we find these things?

I mean, they aren’t bad. They’re just another is a long list of bands that no one’s ever heard of, sold a couple albums, got back together 30 years later, still play out for fun, I assume and are just generally well liked in their pond.

This is what you get if you are a Rolling Stones fanatic and then put a band together in the Power Pop era.

Meh. 

I enjoyed the goofy “I’m a Medical Mess” and the last track, “I’m the Gun”, which has infectious energy and reminds me of a band I used to play with, B9.



Catch ‘em live on June 18th in Burnsville! https://www.thereliefsessions.com/flamin-ohs.html
