The Lickerish Quartet is releasing an EP soon and the initial single is pretty damned good!
I cannot wait! They intentionally were trying recapture the style and feel of a band who would have been "influential" about 35 years ago. In an interview I heard on the radio band leader Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. said there really wasn't much room for "new" stuff in the rock and roll genre as anything that was truly different is pretty much unlistenable and either stupid or too complex to dance to. So, this music was meant to recall the styles of powerpop, glam rock, pop-rock and so on as if it was recorded and released in the late 1980s. So, they are their own tribute band releasing new music that sounds like they did it in their prime 30 years ago. Interesting concept if you believe rock is dead.
