Release Notes:

2006 studio release and a long time favorite of Not
Lame`s since we came across the Luxury Liners back
when we were putting together the 1998 release of
Nashville-based power pop bands, NashPop. They`ve
been releasing consistently excellent records, not a
bad one in the bunch(their debut is out of print,
sorry). The Luxury Liners` blend of sunny guitar
crunch and drop-dead gorgeous melody will have
critics scrambling for comparisons to legendary
power poppers and modern-day alt-rock heroes. The
Liners, however, aren`t trying to evoke any ghosts;
they`re just doing what comes naturally, creating
towering, euphoric rock that will crawl up one side
of you and down the other. Fans of classic Gin
Blossoms, Superdrag, The Lemonheads(early 90`s) and
sublime singer/songwriters like Rich Creamy Paint.

" The group lacks the epic, picturesque qualities of
David and David, but they ride upon the same
esteemed mountains. Feelings matter to them, not
just poses, and that puts them high among the pack
of new power popsters. Greed and dread and old
biddies` wallets drove the Titanic, but The Luxury
Liners are all heart. Lead singer Dewese is a
passionate performer, and the band`s pace is as
familiar as a day at the beach. Sometimes the waves
hit the shore hard, and sometimes they recede; you
just ride with it, grooving on their grooves, and it
all makes sense. The audience smiles, the sound is
good, the melodies are as tart as March apples.
"-SplendidZine. Accessible enough to be marketable,
yet utterly and completely unique, The Luxury Liners
fit right into the eclectic musical landscape
happening today. Extremely Highly Recommended.
