Player
Baby Come Back
“Not to jump on the bandwagon, but this is a total Yacht Rock classic. Player were either the poor man’s Steely Dan or Doobie Brothers, but this song gives both those bands a run for their money. Sweet, smooth, sexy and dripping with emotion, just like Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter’s moustache after he eats soup.”
Joe Walsh
I Like Big Tits
“Every time I listen to this song I hear something new and different. There are so many subtle layers of meaning in the lyrics – it’s like a wondrously complex mandala unfolding before me. Each listen rewards you with a new discovery, a new experience. A staggeringly rich and beautiful composition.”
The Mooney Suzuki
The Maximum Black EP
“V2 is re-releasing our 1999 debut EP this September, remastered with a bunch of bonus tracks. I haven’t listened to this stuff for years, but now I can’t get enough of it. We sure were into our feedback and fuzz-boxes back then.”
