The 1986 Listening Post - The Cynics - Blue Train Station

The Cynics - Blue Train Station



#69/1236
1986 Housekeeping
The Cynics
Blue Train Station
Genre: Garage
3.75 out of 5

Highlights:
No Way


It’s amazing that in 15 years or so, this sound is gonna explode via The Hives, The White Stripes, The Vines and a host of other garage revival bands. 
The Cynics seem to have more in common with The Fleshtones and The Chesterfield Kings and all the bands that should all have been featured on Ray Dennis Steckler movie soundtracks. 
It’s definitely a fun sound when you want to hear it but it’s not really moving anything forward. I don’t know why this works so well a decade and a half later but I guess we’ll have to get to the 00s to find out.
