Busy Signals, S/T


This weekend, Vintage Vinyl is having a buy 2, get 1 free sale on our $3.99 used compact discs.

To celebrate, we'll be skimming the bins and posting about some of the gems to be found.

Here's the 2007 self-titled release from the Busy Signals.

A review by Jen Cray in Ink 19 says:
Chicago's The Busy Signals torpedo the boundaries of modern music, and bring it all back down to its basics. Their self-titled Dirtnap Records release is 12 songs of fun, catchy, singable words and danceable music. It's got modern shades of punk rock and glam with hints of early R.E.M. mixed in, but in its soul is the powerest of pop.

Frontwoman Ana McGorty leads her boys with the ease of Debbie Harry (complete with the romance with a band member -- she and bassist Jeremy Thompson are dating/have dated), and it's her sexy, darker Belinda Carlisle voice that will be the first element of this band to grab you. Once hooked, "So Pointless," "Got It All Wrong" and "Look the Other Way" are sure to sink you.
