BORN LIARS:
Ragged Island; Go Back One Day: LP and 7" EP
Funny how just a slight change of direction can make all the
difference. Instead of following the tried and true path of a zillion
Rip Off/Mummies/Supercharger clones off the cliff into faceless
oblivion, these kids make an end run around all them other punters and
turn in something more memorable simply by approaching the same
material with a nod to ‘80s bands like the Lyres. The result loses none
of the rawness or intensity, but the delivery is so much more assured,
diverse and, I dunno, real than most peddling similar wares these days. Impressed is I.
“Don’t Tell Me, I Know” makes good use of the same chords as the
Standells’ “Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White,” too. The 7” is more
of the same, with two tunes from the LP and one that ain’t. –Jimmy
