So glad the algorithm got this in front of me - huge fan of this artist and there just isn't enough out there when it comes to write ups or performances. Skylar is an amazing songwriter and his new Growing Stone album is wonderful. I hope you have him out for another performance soon!
Yaknow, apon second listen perhaps that wasn’t the most accurate band to reference although some of the guitar tones and spacing reminds me a little. I guess I actually hear more lead stuff similar to Sorority Noise or something like that. Don’t matter though I am enjoying them for what they are. I think the excitement for young and creative rock music was the tie together.
Hard to believe this interview is a mere four years after the release of the (ground-breaking) Modern Lovers debut LP. His influence on the emergence of punk would not be documented (or appreciated) until some time after.
"Reach for the Knife" came across my feed and the rest has been a pretty sweet ride. I don't know how they pulled off sounding like my past and the future, but they did it.
guys like you appreciating the 80s and making new really good songs is a rarity those days. the vibe alone from you gives me that nostalgia. love goes out! <3
