Their stylistic influences include pop, shoegazing, Dream pop and alternative rock & roll. Their first releases were a series of EPs and cassettes through Apostrophe Records, a label directed by Lavallee. In 1993 the band signed with Washington, DC based label Bedazzled Records. Their first release with Bedazzled was the limited-edition 7" record "Chelsea", backed with "All Over You". Inertia, the band's first full-length record, appeared in 1995. * By covering the Chameleons' "Swamp Thing" at a New York show prior to the release of Inertia, Southbridge, MA's the Curtain Society made obvious what this debut LP suggests: here's a band with fine taste in early/mid '80s effects-laden, big-hearted rock, with emotional flourishes, pumping bass, majestic guitar, and brave drumming. Perhaps guitarist Roger Lavallee's vocals are more plaintive than such antecedents -- his gentle, boyish cooing is more in line with the Sarah label bands, For Against, and the Pale Saints -- but this kind of ambitious, non-pretentious, power-packed scope and billowing sound was damn welcome in '90s America; i.e., Inertia takes pride in going against the gratuitous grunge grain. -=- SHGZ -=- P.S. ** Thanks *** *** BCC FNT IPC SSR *** *** For Knowing Where The Music Is At *** *** Props to CaHeSo, awesome Asian Indie/Shoegaze *** *** And to FANG/HOUND for supporting all the Indie lovers out there *** --===-- ********************* * NuHS we miss you! * *********************
