The Lemonheads - "No Backbone" [mp3]
The Lemonheads [Amazon] |
| Now first of all, turn the volume up on this one. No, louder. You want to be sure to properly absorb the guitar barrage (and hey that's the venerable [worthy of respect] J Mascis on lead, how 'bout that?). And talk about the blending of disparate sounds: what about that wall of guitars and Dando's husky-honey voice? I think the potential to combine an all-out sonic assault with sweet melody has always been the grand allure of that intractable [difficult to manage; stubborn; ] genre known as power pop. What "No Backbone" does particularly well is sound barely contained so much of the time — not just J Mascis but also drummer Bill Stevenson (with certfied punk credentials of his own), just bashing first, asking questions later.
