Remedy Feelin’ Back to the City CD

REMEDY FEELIN” is reminiscent of the HICKOIDS with the VINDICTIVES’ singer singing. This has a very particular boot-stomping honky-tonk twang to it. From “Gas Station Blues” to “Fast Fast Woman,” REMEDY FEELIN’ lets you know exactly who they are. I did a little digging and found out they are from the Bay Area, so I wonder if they will be playing 924 Gilman any time soon. Keep a lookout. I wonder if they roll their own cigs and chew tobacco. I want to be clear; I bet this is a lot of fun live. There was a great band in Michigan doing this style around the late ’80s through early ’90s called GOOBER & THE PEAS, so if you are into this type of thing, please look them up, too.

Low-fidelity, rudimentary rock’n’roll. Singer’s going for some kind of Colin McFaull-meets-Angry Anderson snotty bar rock vibe while the band plods through grimy would-be jams that sound like they are, quite literally, coming from your drunk neighbor’s garage. Which is, of course, the charm of REMEDY FEELIN’, because that’s exactly what they’re going for. When they hit the multiple vocals on “Sleepless Summer,” I’m reminded of SF greats FANTASY (which will mean little to most readers, but if you know, then you definitely know)—like glam without any of the chops or any of the….well, without any of the glam. Weird, right?
