The Fleshtones - Roman Gods (1982)




I don't know much about these guys, I just bought them from some guy's record collection on the outskirts of the city. But allmusic says that they are often classified as a garage rock revival band, which seems to fit pretty perfectly with what they sound like. They seem like they could be from the 60's, but there's something that doesn't fit with that era, which makes sense because it was made in '82. Actually, it's kind of reminiscent of that newer 80's-ish kind of music like The Killers, which can sometimes be disconcerting, particularly in "Stop Fooling Around".
It's an okay album. These guys are still pumpin' em out, though, which is pretty cool. This is their first.
