Here's another Ukraine benefit record. I know precisely zero about The Incurables, other than this which just popped up in my Bandcamp feed. And it's alright, actually, if you like 80s-vintage Buck Rickenbacker guitar lines and 70s-vintage Feargal Sharkey vocals, if he came from somewhere other than Derry. It's thirty seconds too long, but other than that, it has a jaunty, power pop sound that is totally at odds with the devastation wreaked by Mad Vlad's war. What more reason do you need? Here's the track; proceeds go to help provide humanitarian and medical aid in Ukraine.
As well as the fantastic cause, I think that's a rather lovely, jangly, perky piece of power pop - feel as if I could have first heard it 40 years ago but it still works. I found this about the band: "Emerging from the primordial ooze of the Detroit suburbs, the band blends the sounds of 60’s British Invasion and psychedelic era as well as the guitar driven energy of New York's "CBGB" power pop/punk scene of the late 70's and early 80's." All makes sense!
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent and very accurate description. Amazing what you can find on Bandcamp...
