Daytime Running Lights
The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.
Chris’ mom Shelley said this is what Alleycat, our old band, sounded like. But that was then, and this is now, and we’re in a new era. As in, this album is from 1980, and sounds like it. There are two sisters, and one other woman, in this band, and it looks like the engineer/producer played bass. The first song, “NURD”, is almost new-wave, definitely on the whole post-punk girl band wave (perhaps the crest). Then, a Cole Porter cover, sweet and with rough but sentimental (as in hearkens to old times, not cloying, not over rehearsed, but with the freedom of some ladies who love to sing together and often do, like how Claire and Katie Davis and Shauna and I would sing Christmas Carols in the Hot Tub with great acoustics in Mount Shasta). Songs about being in love, being a jerk, loving a jerk, a traditional Irish song, unavailable, wrong loves, growing up. A lot of material for ten songs. I liked it, and will return to it again.
