Stick N Stones

***Dusty Medical records proudly serves up another Brew City classic with the debut 7-inch from STICKS N STONES. Founded after the untimely demise of TUFF BANANAS, Sticks N' Stones includes core members PAUL KALFAHS and JON HEIBLER of CATHOLIC BOYS and NATALIE CLARK of THE TEARS playing an insanely catchy take on the late ‘70s/ early ‘80s American power pop exemplified by Cheap Trick, Shoes or The Nerves, that sticks in your mind like candy melted to the bench you just sat on. The A side "Red Light," with its guitar power chord crunch, full, bouncy bass and danceable drums, comes on like a forgotten roller rink jam or classic theme song to a B-grade retro teenage comedy, while the flipside "Time Change" mines similar nostalgic territory with wistful longings for the simplicity of the past. This debut is a scorcher, anyone wise enough to add this to their collection will be eagerly awaiting the next record's worth of hyper, sugar-glazed pop. Edition of 500 copies.
