NEI - City of gold

NEI, still redefining old man's rock. That's their tagline, don't wear it out. All us folks who grew up on AmRep, Touch & Go and other antagonistic rock are getting older, but we're not necessarily mellowing with age. I still long for the same sounds of yore, sung anew; I still want to bang out a racket all my own. The old records still sound just as good, but I want more! Young upstarts try and often fail; I say, to leave it to your elders to do it right. By all reports, the recent Jesus Lizard reunion was fully on point and NEI are no slouchers either. "City of gold" has been spun many, many times here at HQ since I received in on a demo CDr back in 2007, but now it's an official "single" on National, the band's first. Not like I expect radio to jump all over it though, so I advise those of you with a similar mindet and likewise similar (excellent) taste to download immediately! The album "New agenda" (due out September 16) can't come soon enough! Bring it on!
