#2466 The Nerves - One Way Ticket

You know what song made me really perk up on Blondie? Hanging on the Telephone. Great song. Turns out it was a cover. Shit. These guys were the ones.

And these guys rule, full of all the same taut, swaggering cool that Blondie had at their best, retro//modern all at once, half Everly Brothers, half Gang of Four, sensitive boys gone sideways, like a knife in the ribs in a final, loving embrace. Thrillingly cool shit 4/5
