The Lemonheads - Lick

We all know about 90's Lemonheads. Evan Dando and a revolving door of band members had commercial success with songs such as "into your arms", "if i could talk i'd tell you" and of course their cover of "Mrs Robinson" which to this day is played regularly on at least 3 of sydney's 5 main radio stations. This is early lemonheads, punky, grungy late eighties lemonheads. Sounding like a cross between the Ramones, The Cure and early Nirvana. This is as far away from "Mrs Robinson" as you can imagine. A hastly put together album that actually screams "band problems" from the outset. There are two bands making this album, the one led by lead singer Evan Dando, and the one led my lead guitarist and singer Ben Deily. In fact it can't really be called an album so much as a collection of each artists songs, with the other reluctantly playing along. Deily left the band straight after this album was release, and Evan Dando went on to annoy the shit out of many more band mates over the next two decades.
