The Methadones

On a different note, get ready to be hearing about a rock'n'roll band called the Methadones. The CD isn't out in the US , but I'm told it will be soon. These guys, who are former members of assorted other bands, rock as hard as any band can rock and still be actually playing together, which sorta means they sound, for 2004, like the way the Ramones sounded in 1976. They're not possessed of a New York Cool like the Ramones or the Strokes (whose track, Modern World, by the way, was a classic), but they have enough of their own meat-and-potatoes attitude to go very far.
