Dollface - "Lights The Pilot"

Dollface - "Rods and Cones"
Dollface - "Light The Pilot"
This is one of the best indie albums, hands down, that I've heard in several years. But what's amazing is I bought it back in December and just now got around to putting it into my computer! Dollface is an Illinois-area punk group, but they sound a lot more like "Blue Album"-era Weezer than anything else, which is a great thing to hear. "Rods and Cones" sounds like it should have been played on college radio around the country for the last decade, but it is obvious this band isn't getting the respect they deserve. And "Light the Pilot" should please any fan of the now-defunct local group "...Revel in the Morning" (that is if you were as big a fan of their track "Art as Product" as I am). It's been a long time since I've hear a band that could pull off an eight-track 20-minute album and make it sound so complete. I think you'll hear what I mean if you take the time to give the band a listen.
I just spoke to Jeff Gregory, the bassist / vocalist from the group, and unfortunately they broke up years ago. But they are working on a reissue of their earlier debut album. As soon as I know more, I'll pass the info along ... but until then, BUY THIS ALBUM. You won't regret it! Best $11 I ever spent.
