INFORMATION |
|
Now getting a CD release, and backing up with a full European tour: NODZZZ are Sean Paul on guitar, Anthony Atlas on bass,
and Eric Butterworth on drums, with Pete Hilton as forever
auxiliary drummer, now stationed in Bulgaria in the service
of the Peace Corps. They’re sweet dudes with an even
sweeter sound, first honed on a killer single called “(I Don’t
Wanna) Smoke Marijuana” b/w “We Are the Only Animals,”
released on Eric’s Make a Mess imprint. Barely three minutes
long, each side tore the face off of the last days of
2007, revealing a candy skeleton that had the Modern Lovers’
teeth marks in it.
The group’s self-titled debut is a grower, with ten new
songs in a markedly more pop direction. You can hear the
simple American pleasures of baseball, road trips and late
summer within, plain as day within this record. More specifi
cally, you can hear three guys examining where punk
became something more, between notions of power pop
and advanced songwriting on the Embarrassment/Big Dipper/
Pointed Sticks axis, but with the economy of the Minutemen
or Beat Happening. They’re in and out before you
know it, having firmly planted the seeds of catchy melodies
between your ears.

| "This is the album Pavement would have made if they were formed in the U.K. in 1982 instead of 1989 in California. (Actually, the Nodzzz are from California circa now.)"
Damian Abraham http://www.idiomag.com/peek/53562/no_age#/53562/1/
"Like the Feelies or Modern Lovers before them, the group wears its quirkiness as a kind of badge of honor" Pitchfork
"clearly inspired by Jonathan Richman's quirky madness" Alan Mcgee the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2008/dec/09/the-ramones-garage-nodzzz
