' I have the misfortune to be an English instructor. I attempt to instill a bunch of bobby-soxers and drug store Romeos with a reverence for Hawthorne and Whitman and Poe...' Blanche Dubois.
Drug Store Romeos. My new favourite band # blah, blah, blah. Youthful Fleet, Hampshire trio grab their name from a Streetcar Named Desire quote demeaning Southern clothes horse teens, and come up with a sound that is reminiscent of others but somehow wonderfully still their own.
They have three tracks available as of now. The latest, Quotations For Locations is the best and shows rich promise indeed. Young Marble Giants, Stereolab and New Order meet up for a blind date and sparks fly. One of my favourite songs of the year so far. They're working on an album. If this is anything to go by, it could be very good indeed.
