Song of the Day: January 12, 2005
From "The Patriots-Pharoah's Land/The Chicaynes-Second Thoughts,"
Bam-Caruso Records split EP, 1986
Bam-Caruso Records split EP, 1986
A mystery band from the Philadelphia area, this was their only release, although a source once close to the band says that additional demos were recorded. It's always interesting to me how some bands can infuse their Beatles/Merseybeat rips with enough enthusiasm and innocence that they sound fresh, whereas others seem plodding and cartoonish. The Patriots clearly belong in the former camp. This disc is well worth seeking out in used bins; The UK Chicaynes released a great mod/pop 45 in 1981, "Cry a Little"/"Further Thoughts," and you get both sides.
