The Lemonheads
The Lemonheads' evolution from post-Hnsker Dn hardcore punk rockers to teenage heartthrobs is one of the strangest sagas in alternative music. Initially, the group was a punk-pop trio formed by three teenage Boston suburbanites, but over the years, the band became a vehicle for Evan Dando. Blessed with good looks and a warm, sweet voice, Dando became a teen idol in the early '90s, when Nirvana's success made alternative bands commercially viable. While his simple, catchy songs were instantly accessible, they tended to hide the more subversive nature of his ly...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. On yellow vinyl! Download card included. Varshons, the new album from The Lemonheads, feels like a cool mix tape slipped to you by a music-obsessed friend. Produced by Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers) and featuring guest appearances by Liv Tyler and Kate Moss, the collection is filled with strange bedfellows, from G.G. Allin and Townes Van Zandt to Wire and Leonard Cohen. Filled with obscure nuggets, the tracks on Varshons cut a wide swath, jumping from early British [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2009! After numerous lineup changes and independent releases Boston's Lemonheads signed to Atlantic Records for 1990's Lovey. It was with that record that Evan Dando began to move from Replacements style punk-pop into more gentle and jangly territory, and it's here, on It's A Shame About Ray, that he perfects his vision and launches the Lemonheads into international stardom. It's A Shame About Ray, is one of the hookiest and catchy records of th [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Although it's fairly incoherent, bouncing back and forth between punk-pop and folky pop, Lick is a thoroughly engaging record.
