Lemuria - Get Better

Lemuria
Get Better
2008 Asian Man Records

Lemuria is a fresh young pop meets indie powerlicious punk trio from Buffalo, [the Great State] New York. Sheena Ozzella leads vocals and plays guitar. Alexander Kerns is on drums and lends vocals. Jason Draper is on bass. Interestingly enough, the trio seems to take the name of what appears to have been an ancient civilization that once existed somewhere in the South Pacific. Not sure of the connection there, if any, but would love to pose question to Alexander during future interview [shameless invite to call me].

I cannot get enough of Pants. Clever lyrics that bring me straight back to the early unabashed know-it-all nineties in a good way. Flirtatious girl meets boy, girl dominates… uh… dialogue via girl lead vocals we came to know & love in this golden decade. Go figure. Here’s the thing, Pants would have been a hit by now in the nineties, for sure no doubt about it, so I am calling for a nineties Renaissance. Get Some Sleep reminds me of a guy I know… yeah I said it. I seriously do think Get Some Sleep is melodic pop at its best. Think Ode to Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites. No, I can’t resist. Mechanical is my least fav, but that’s not saying much because I still love it. I have nothing negative to say. Truth be told, these cats could be my neighbors - you get the sense that you know them and you’re happy to organically like them.
