Catchy, adorable power-pop! They got me........2006-08-28

Ohhh c'mon, admit it--sometimes you've got a sweet tooth for cute boys singing cute songs about girls. If that describes you, The Lashes' "Get It" should feed your addiction nicely!

Granted, The Lashes' main appeal is to the young, estrogen-fuelled crowd. But as an "adult", I can say that they've even found a spot in MY heart. I saw them open for The Living End and they really do put on a great live show. Tons of energy, very tightly organized--which is impressive for a band that has so many members! Ben is a very engaging frontman; totally works the crowd and clearly has fun doing it. The occasional banter between Ben and keyboard/vox Jacob demonstrates further that these guys have fun, don't take s#&% too seriously, and love what they're doing.

Sure, they're poppy, but these guys are talented! The album has great melodies, fun call-and-response hooks, heartfelt vocals, and "Pretty Girl..." has been stuck in my head for a week (which is kinda ironic--did they mean do to that? I wouldn't doubt it!). I guarantee that you'll be singing along in no time.

Bottom line: if you take yourself too seriously, you may not like these guys. If you want an album that you can put on and dance around in your room while singing into a hairbrush? Get "Get It" and have fun.

"Cause a pretty girl is like a melody
It hits you when you're awake gets you when you're asleep
And I can't get this song out of my head..."

Old Dude?.......2006-06-21

Do Ben Clark's teenage fans realize that he's pushing thirty? The dude is OLD. He's not a young jackass, he's an OLD jackass. And isn't it a bit creepy that an OLD dude like Ben tries so hard to appeal to 14-year-olds? Check out the Lashes MySpace profile. Creeeeepy!

awesome and refreshing.......2006-05-18

so i have heard this being described as new wave-powerpop. new wave i hear, but i dont like the word pop cause that makes me think boy band... which its not.. but it is rockin i know that much. I cannot stop listening to this cd. this is my new favorite band. i have been in a music slump because i am so picky about what im listening to and everything that heard sounded the same but this band actually excites me... if that makes sense.

Just one listen and I was hooked.......2006-04-28

I first heard The Lashes on the internet, and I've loved them ever since. Their songs are catchy and fun, and the band's energy is contagious. This is one of the few cd's that I listen to all the way through, and I can't help but dance and sing along. A few of the highlights on the cd are "New Best Friend", "Sometimes The Sun", "Yesterday Feels Like A Year", and "Nate's Song", although in my opinion, every song is great in it's own way. The Lashes aren't trying to be the next great songwriters, they're just trying to have fun, and I for one am happy to go along for the ride.

By the way, if you've never read an interview with the lead singer, Ben Clark, aka Ben Lashes, you should look him up right away. There's a reason he's know as the BEST INTERVIEW EVER.

funny like haha.......2006-04-22

this review is pretty funny you have to admit.....
"This band has the most retarded lyrics I've ever heard - "Sometimes the sun goes down, sometimes it goes back up, I'm wondering which one you are watching now." Huh?? Forget about the singer's gross melodramatic voice or the band's boring decision to steal riffs from the Strokes - just check out those lyrics!! The sun doesn't 'sometimes' go up and down, it ALWAYS goes up and down - ALWAYS - you morons. "I'm wondering which one you are watching now." Which one? Excuse me, last time I checked, we have only ONE sun, not two. Whatever. Maybe these hipsters should've spent more time in school and less time working on their hair. Their first record was trying to sound like Weezer and now they're trying to sound like Hot Hot Heat. How lame is that? And why are these guys trying so hard to look like the Strokes? They even have that token dude with the caucasion 'fro. I was suckered into seeing these guys at Spaceland last month and overheard the singer "pep-talking" his band. So embarassing. "Okay, guys, have fun tonight but make it look natural. You never know who might be in the audience. And don't forget, those fat girls in the front row bought some merch so pretend to be nice to them and we'll make fun of them later." Cool guys."
