Ashley, the singer-bassist of Boston power punk outfit the Pills told me
"Please feel free to compare us to the Jam as much as you'd like." Well,
Ashley together with colleagues Clyde O'Scope (yeah right), Jamie Vavra
& Dave Thompson make no bones about their source of inspiration and why
should they? This assortment of 1979 post-punk gems may raise the collective
ghosts of the Police, the Clash, XTC, the Pretenders, the Buzzcocks & of
course Woking's finest but when it is delivered with such panache, wit,
authority and straightforward pop smarts, nothing else matters except the
music. Rightly so, because the best pop music always involves establishing
that vital connection between heart and soul and doing it with a killer
beat.
