We'll Last So Long

Label Velvet Blue MusicGarlic Press #4September 1996

indie pop synth pop

There are four seven inches, from the camp led by Jeff Cloud and Jason Martin of Starflyer 59. This is heaven for those fans of the noisy distorted guitar. Jupiter James, Pony Express, Bon Voyage, and Rainbow Rider. Blue vinyl. If you like Starflyer at all you will want to get at least the first three. Rainbow Rider is a forerunner to Joy Electric, so a little different from the other bands, but Ronnie is still a Martin and knows how to write a melody in his own musical way. Jason's wife sings on Bon Voyage and is my favorite 7" out of the group. Highly recommended.
