 IC: Moe Berg in Canadian Musician - Dec. 1988
His end of the conversation went something like this, "The tunes are good, I really like the sound of the band but we're really going to have to watershed the guitar solos - the guy has no technique at all." Of course at this point he didn't realize he was SPEAKING TO THE GUITAR PLAYER.
Later, our A and R person admonished him on the phone, "You told Moe his guitar playing sucks!" to which Todd replied, "I never told him it sucked - but it does suck." Well, at least I knew Todd wasn't going to hype me.
Anyway, we ended up doing the record with him and it turned out to be an amazing experience.

Most of its tunes emphasize driving, bar-band rock riffs with Berg's no-frills vocals/spoken word diatribes, and a chorus thick with female harmonies.
As much as this is readily identifiable, so is Todd Rundgren's sharp, layered production captured on the group's first two records Love Junk and One Sided Story -- a perfect wedlock of producer and material.
