The Amps-Pacer


Okay, I doubt many will cop to the fact that most of the time, this is a better all around listen than all your beloved Pixies records. See, I love 60s girl group sound. Not that bullshit that kids like at the moment (next year I predict cod piece rock will hold that position) but the real deal. Now, I can make some stupid pun but will hold back for the moment. But yes, this is the Deal sisters whom we all know by now. But I’ll be damned (okay, I probably am already) if this doesn’t top the slag heap of contempo bands that sound like note for note copies of this album. Why are you all so terrible and this band is so good? Go back to knitting owls or whatever it the fuck it was you used to do before you picked up a guitar.

  1. Problem is, kids these days tend to over-do EVERYTHING. I don't think they would ever consider being this simple and direct, which is probably why they get so pissed when I say I like the Amps/Breeders way more than their precious Pixies. This isn't as simple as it sounds either. Brilliant yet overlooked stuff.

  2. As a point of clarification, Kelley Deal wasn't involved with this album. The Amps were put together by Kim after Kelley got busted for possession in 1994.
