Brad Marino

Basement Beat

(Rum Bar Records)

Sure, the Ramones influence (both musically minimalistic and lyrical) is pronounced. Brad even kick-starts some numbers with Dee Dee's "1-2-3-4." And, to his credit, clever songwriting and muscular downstroking deftly echo the classsical mode. An honorable salute.

Recommended: "Freak Show," "Communist Creep," "Rubber Room," "Brain Gone," "Spy For the BBI," "That Girl," "Come Back For More," "Dream Last Night," "Baby Doll"
