The Throes
Era of Condolence
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Fans of The Cry, The Beatles, and R.E.M. should really enjoy this energetic group from Fairfax, Virginia. Nice packaging, nice production, and nice acoustic guitars grace this seven-song tape. It looks like a label is in the process of picking up this band - smart move! These guys show maturity in their musicianship and their songwriting. The music makes you hum and the lyrics make you think. You can pick up a copy of this soon-to-be out-of-print cassette via Spring Arbor. Look forward to their debut album on ??? Records.
