The Cards You Dealt Me 04:46 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.
