Scissors For Lefty - Underhanded Romance
Reviewed by vanwickel
San Francisco-based Scissors For Lefty is made up of two sets of brothers: the Krimmel brothers and the Garza brothers (and Uncle Steven). Their songs are tight and hooky and the single, "Lay Down Your Weapons", a ditty about an ex-con"s fantasies of his first day outta the joint and how the day goes terribly wrong, is perhaps the catchiest from Underhanded Romance and has achieved regular airplay on college radio. Aside from being a little damned annoying the band just plays things too safe. There's nothing particularly interesting here, just a band that can write some decent, hooky songs. This is not a terrible thing, mind you -- but nor is it the sort of thing that produces legions of rabid fans either. [www.scissorsforlefty.com]
