THE MARSHMELLOWS Mad Sense of Alice 1997

 

Discogs 

 

Mad Sense of Alice Review by John W. Patterson

The Marshmellows are Ian Marsh doing absolutely splendid vocals and keys, Marshall Stackwith doing very psychedelic guitars and vocals, Grant Deed on bass and vocals, and Dez Baker on drums. Chris Shryack guest guitars on "Smoke."

Drumming is Ringo-steady, bass McCartney-poised, and guitars exude that Harrison warmth and tone. Marsh's voice is 80% Lennonesque but you can hear Supertramp too. Think retro-pop psychedelia. Marsh's vocals are eerie echoes of John Lennon and that Beatles' harmonizing. His song composing is topnotch. Hooks are strong and multi-barbed. Vintage Beatles sound comes through loud and clear on "Mad Sense of Alice," "Rainy Day," "Silver Jets," and "Good Enough." With a lively, upbeat, melodic bassline driving things, "Beast of the City" is very Oasis. The keys and dance floor beat in "Glass House" is mid '80s Tears For Fears or Wang Chung teen angst. "All the Way to the Bank" has a late Lennon introspective testimonial with cynical sarcasm in its lyrics. We sign off with "Goodbye #917" which is most likely the signature Marshmellows sound. We outro with classic Beatles pyscho-babble and other aural marginalia.

THE ROOKS The Rooks 1993

 

Discogs 

 

The Rooks Biography by Steve Huey

The Rooks gained a cult following among power pop fans in the 1990s with a style drawing its main inspirations from the Beatles, Big Star, and the Replacements. Leader and co-founder Mike Mazzarella (vocals, rhythm guitar) formed the group in New York with drummer Patrick Yourell in 1990 after their previous outfit, a Connecticut band called the Broken Hearts, dissolved. An early incarnation of the Rooks featured Mazzarella's friend and fellow power-popper Richard X. Heyman, as well as Heyman's wife Nancy on bass and guitarist Michael Fernbach. However, this lineup was short-lived, and several demos were recorded with guitarist Kristin Pinell (also of the Gripweeds); Mazzarella had intended to record one album only, but Pinell convinced him to make the unit a full-time operation. Yourell left the group in 1992 and was replaced by Jim Riley, while the bass slot was filled by Annmarie Gatti. This lineup completed the Rooks, which was released in 1993. Yourell rejoined the band in 1994 for an Eastern European tour, and the Rooks signed with Not Lame Recordings that fall, also adding Anne Benkovitz on bass. The band split an LP with Twenty Cent Crush, contributing nine songs to the release titled A Double Dose of Pop! in 1995, and that year also released the more melancholy EP Chimes. The Rooks returned in early 2000 with Wishing Well on Not Lame Recordings.
