Gus - Convicted!
1980 Housekeeping LISTENING POST DISCOVERY
Gus
Convicted!
Genre: Power Pop
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Ain’t Love a Crime
One More Border to Cross
The Russians Are Coming
Cell Door Slammin’
In the style of, say, Rick Springfield, here’s Gus. But Gus Papas has more licks and guitar chops than Rick. However, instead of soap opera good looks and vox he sounds more like Nick Cave. But, he can really rock, that’s for sure.
Gus isn one hit song away from having a gold record. But, alas, there’s really no single here. Just well produced rock pop tunes.
Side Two is a breaker of power rock tunes. I wish there was a hit here. There just isn’t. It’s just a solid record of tunes by a guy who could have had a shot.
