SWEET AND SOUR :: The Lemonheads - Rockin Stroll

In 1992, alternative rock band The Lemonheads burst onto the scene with their second album It's A Shame About Ray. The band was headed by lead singer / guitarist Evan Dando, with Juliana Hatfield as backing vocals / bass guitar and David Ryan on drums. Rockin Stroll was the first song on the album.

The album was re-issued as a collector's edition by Rhino in 2008. This edition includes several bonus demo versions of album tracks, along with the B-side "Shaky Ground" plus a DVD containing the previous VHS release Two Weeks in Australia.

The Lemonheads announced an Australian tour for November and December 2010, where they would play the album, It's A Shame About Ray in its entirety, along with other select songs from their other albums.

RETRO BAND SPOTLIGHT :: New Model Army

New Model Army are an alternative band that formed in England in 1980. The earliest material on their debut album Vengeance (1984) was described as "crusty-punk",albeit more melodic than the works of many of their classic counterparts.

Their lyrics are often poetic, but express political and humanitarian messages. Songs like "51st State" (lyrics written by Ashley Cartwright of 'The Shakes') earned the band cult status in movements against American imperialism, but made it more difficult for the band to tour the US. The contradiction and search for truths explored in New Model Army's lyrics stem from lyricist Justin Sullivan's Quaker and literary upbringing.

Band members Justin Sullivan, Michael Dean, Dean White and Marshall Gill; were still touring as late as 2010. The latest studio album, Today Is a Good Day, was released in September 2009.
