Fucking sublime 70s Long Island bubblegum power pop with just a dash of glammy guitar.
Wow never heard of these guys (is that a dude singing?). Checked out a bunch of tunes, fucking great stuff. Wolt, you and Doc gotta get outta my head or next thing ya know youse'll be digging Springclean and I'll into Swans and hardcore
Yeah, it's a dude.
Seriously, they are amazing. One of those left field major label signings that just didn't sell. They apparently played CBGB a few times and had a cult following but just couldn't translate to album sales.
”INDER LOCK THE THE KISS THREAD IVE REALISED IM A PRZE IDOOT” - Thomas Jefferson
Mink DeVille, 'Return to Magenta' (from the glorious year of 1978; 2012 remaster).
Serious hardcore New Yawk City rock n' soul. Doc Pomus wrote the original liner notes, so ya know the thing's the real deal.
Strong shoes is what we got and when they're hot they're hot!

Mink is great mines the same territory as Graham Parker I feel. Somewhere betwwen Parker and Springstein to my ears anyway.
Was listening to this just earlier.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.
I was watching/listening to the 2 Tone concert doc Dance Craze and remembering how much I don't like Bad Manners. It's like they wanted to out-Madness Madness.

Sorry, but Bad Manners is
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I was never a big fan and know what you mean. When they concentrated on the music they were a good band. That Inner London Violence track on Dance Craze soundtrack is a good example.

That is an excellent song, and I adore Walking In the Sunshine.

I'm not really a fan of humor in music at the best of times (Fishbone being a rare example), so they really rub me the wrong way. Plus all their branding looks like a 6 year old was in charge.
