The Condors - Wait For It
@320 - Covers are included
1. Waiting Half the Night 2. Spare Time 3. Don't Want a Girl Who's Been With Jack 4. Carnival of Fools 5. The Other Side of You 6. Set Me On Fire 7. Kiss That Girl Away 8. Something Better Coming Soon 9. She's Not the Girl for Me 10. Expectations 11. Don't Talk About Love 12. Wake Up
Now here is a band that can rock with the best of them. If the Kinks and the Flamin' Groovies met up with the DIY punk of The Godfathers, they might've sounded like The Condors. The songs benefit from producer Steve Refling and special friends who stopped by the studio to lend their musical and vocal talents (including Tony Fate - former Bellrays). "She's not the Girl for me" and "Don't Talk about Love" are perfect bar band styled classics. "Expectations" sound similar to classic Elvis Costello circa "Armed Forces" with even more muscle. The Ray Davies comparisons are all over the classic "Something Better Coming Soon" and Pat "Pooch" DiPuccio does a great job of matching the energy and sound of those classic rock and roll riffs. The sharp Beatlesque guitar buzz on "Kiss That Girl Away" is what power pop is all about and "Spare Time" has a big Raspberries vibe with a Lou Reed-ish vocal. "Set Me On Fire" even has those great horn flourishes. This is a great album. This combination of old school punk and pop that makes the album a pure joy to listen to.
