New #review today: "Originating from the ashes of the Liverpool #Merseybeat band #TheKirkbys and inspired by fellow Liverpudlians The Beatles, #The23rdTurnoff featured the cult singer-songwriter #JimmyCampbell. The band’s name paid homage to the M6 highway exit onto East Lancashire Road in Liverpool. Their only single, “Michael Angelo,” was commercially unsuccessful, and they were relegated to obscurity..." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-23rd-turnoff-michael-angelo-the-complete-1967-recordings-6.html

THE HOUSEMARTINS - London 0 Hull 4

Very weird place to start a dive into the collected works of Norman Cook, playing bass for a #Rock band sounding rather like The Smiths, though more jaunty and jangly. I'm not sure what this strain of UK #IndieRock is officially called, but it sounds like #Merseybeat to me, just with #80s production standards. Oh, and big ol' piano solos too.

I'm sure this has fans - seemed to chart really well - but I've but a passing fancy for it.
