The Mayflies USA – Kickless Kids (CD)
Product Details
The Mayflies USA built their reputation in the 1990s as one of the most melodically gifted power pop outfits to emerge from North Carolina's fertile indie rock scene, drawing comparisons to Big Star and the Replacements while maintaining a voice entirely their own. Kickless Kids marks their first new material in over two decades, arriving on Yep Roc, the North Carolina label that has long championed exactly this kind of craft-forward American rock and roll.
The Mayflies USA make a triumphant return, after a 20+ year hiatus, with their album, Kickless Kids. The band has not lost any of the ingredients that gained them their initial notoriety - the glorious harmonies, the ear worm choruses, and the edgy guitars are all present on this new batch of songs. Standout songs include: "Calling the Bad Ones Home," "Cabbagetown," "Less Lost," and the title track. However, the entire set plays more like a "best of" collection, the songs are that strong.
