Editor's review
West Coast punk rock used to mean something really different, and Seattle's Cute Lepers, though technically a new outfit, hearken back to alienation's heyday. Tracks like "Terminal Boredom" run on trashed guitars and peppy melodies, treating DIY as a matter of religion.
Biography
Originally, the idea for the band was that it was to be something equally influenced by first wave punk, mod - revival, power pop, and a retarded reverence for Johnny Thunders...oh yeah, with occasional hints of doo-wop, oldie rock 'n' roll and a load of female back-up vocals. After some footwork, a west coast tour and a few sold out singles, The Cute Lepers are releasing "Can't Stand Modern Music", their first full length album. Lead by Steve E NIx of the seminal Seattle punk band, The Briefs, along with several other members of The Briefs, The Cute Lepers debut album combines the attitude of punk rock, the style of mod and the polished sound of pop.
