ZACK KEIM with Band | Indie rock'n'roll with 60s pop harmonies, folk references and garage rock roots
Imagine "the best pop hooks that LOU REED or JONATHAN RICHMAN have ever written", accompanied by a unique voice - then you're close to what awaits you on "Battery Lane": This is how the trade press raves about the current album, which the still young singer-songwriter (who was previously a member of the NOX BOYS, a garage troupe inspired by the BLACK LIPS), who was born in a small industrial town in Pennsylvania, recorded together with his band. The finely crafted record with its 60s-inspired pop songs is "a yearning jewel that draws melodic bliss from nostalgic feelings" and sounds "like a lost classic" that was inspired by THE BEACH BOYS as well as the RAMONES. The roots in garage rock are evident and some of the indie rock'n'roll with folk references, which knows how to combine soulful melodies with profound lyrics, is reminiscent of VELVET UNDERGROUND or THE STROKES in their early phase.
