Today's case in point, The Method Actors - This Is Still It.The fact that these songs could languish in mostly obscurity for thirty years (I remember reading reviews about these guys from Athens in-the-know types muttering their name while clutching Pylon bootlegs to their hollow chests - I loved Pylon, R.E.M., the B-52s and Love Tractor but somehow I missed out on these guys.)
This is a two piece (guitarist Vic Varney and drummer David Gamble - no bass player) that will remind you at times of some of the bands that were their contemporaries but on further listening will make you wonder how they missed getting famous. Bouncy and energetic pop that will make you want to jump up and down in a semi-rhythmic fashion that is so early 80s it will make your kids want to retch. Go on, embarrass them, this is a gem.
