First and, unfortunately, last album from an incredible Iowa quartet that traded in medium-loud, complex guitar rocka la Television or Dumptruck. Almost psychedelic in its shifting textures and lyrical imagery, but always melodic, this is an important album. (WWW Music Database)
Iowa has long been a fertile breeding ground for driving pop bands. With guitarists Mike Sangster and Doug Roberson coming from two such bands, the Hollowmen and the Dangtrippers respectively, Head Candy is poised to carry on the tradition. Sangster's vocals oscillate between an uneasy tension and a mellow smoothness in much the same way that Head Candy's songs reflect both a world-weary callousness and a vulnerable sweetn

THE FLOWERS OF ROMANCE A brief history of the band as written by mrs Darkness: Flowers Of Romance was one of the most successful groups to emerge from the Greek rock scene of the 1990s. They started more or less as a pure punk band (although already their first album, Dorian Grey, showed signs of poppiness and gothic influences as well), then moved closer to traditional gothic rock with the album Pleasure & The Pain and then exploded into a gazillion of styles, combining missionesque riffs, gloomy atmospheres, and electronic pulses with a newly-found love for jazz, industrial, and spaghetti-western film scores.
The band was originally formed on February 2nd, 1981 by members Mike Pougounas-vocals (later will perform keyboards and sy

Terrific debut from the band led by ex- Pere Ubu guitarist, Tom
Hermann. Great post-punk/funk stuff: agile drumming, meaty basslines,
Hermann's lacerating guitar and his Byrne-like voice. Not dissimilar in
places to early Talking Heads, but not as mannered. Excellent
live-in-studio recording made "on the shore of Lake Erie." I became
aware of this fantastic lp when avid fan, Steve Albini played it on a
local radio show. References: Come On, The Fall, Styrenes, Electric
Eels, Mirrors, Couch Flambeau. ***
