L.A. Was Our Alamo
SALE PRICE - only $10!
Drawing on influences such as Pavement, The Replacements and Wilco, this trio speaks directly to and from the heart on tracks such as “Breathing Room,” which chronicles love’s rich and confusing pageant with catchy, Westerbergian lyrics, while the stunning “Country Star” serves as a touching, convincing ode to fidelity and serves to balance the bruised reconciliation seeker present in the Lucinda Williams-esque “Aisle Walker.” But it’s hard to pick standout tracks on an album that has so many, on an album that lingers like a new lover’s touch and scent, distracting you and making you consider forsaking all others. It’s heartbreaking, uplifting, delicate, rough… in a word, beautiful.

Squeaky Clean
$10.00
Thumbing there collective noses at the nineties trend of writing songs riddled with screaming angst, Pushstart Wagon has produced a debut owing far more to the power pop sensibilities of bands like Wonderstuff than much of anything which would be remotely considered to appear at Lollapalooza. Actually, picture a fairly even blend of the aforementioned Wonderstuff and PlankEye and you've got a good idea of what's going on here...
They've got some great hooks, they're tight, they're well produced (compliments of Andy Prickett), and they've got a sense of humor. What more do you want? This is easily one of the best new bands of the year.
-Todd Brown, (Seven Ball Magazine-1996)
