The Rabies Dumb It Down LP
When you land on this page, you can’t help but think of the RAMONES. The fact that they’re from NYC, their cover art… but they are definitely not just a RAMONES copycat band. They are a serious band, but you can tell that they don’t take themselves too seriously. That’s a healthy combination. These guys are a softer, poppier brand of new wave. The vocals range from being pretty to almost LOU REED-like spoken word. These guys are just a little goofy and they seem totally okay with that. Or maybe they’re just brutally honest. Nice work.
