Vince Lightning & the ThunderBoltZ

Veni Vidi Vincey   digital, limited-edition vinyl

(Lightning Records)

The Lieutenant ripped the dispatch from the printer and ran to the chief's office.

"Chief! Chief!"

The grizzled 30-year veteran looked up from his paperwork. "Boy, you know better than to come runnin' in here..."

"But this is BIG!" His hand shaking, the aide handed his boss the dispatch.

"VINCE LIGHTNING?!" The chief nearly fell off his chair. "AND THE THUNDERBOLTZ?!"

His shoulders slumped, the Chief trudged to the window. "Real peaceful little town, we used to have..."

Just as alarm is triggered in Squaresburg, excitement rockets in cool precincts. Vince and dive-battering colleagues specialize in lofty- volume Rock'n'Roll that knows how best to incorporate the lessons of Union Ave. and of later rip-and-stitch sects. (Dig: Swervy licks torn off in "Pop Star Egos" evidence Mistah Johnny's evergreen impact.)

Recommended: "Stuck On Amber," "Jealousy (Is Killing Me)," "Teenage Rebellion," "Pop Star Egos," "Too Much Beer and Cigarettes," "What's Your Name," "Can't Let Go," "In Another World"

Videos: "Stuck On Amber"   "Jealousy (Is Killing Me)" (live in Bromley)   "Too Much Beer and Cigarettes"
