The best kept secret in music

There used to be a pretty good NYC band called Jennifer Convertible. The guitarist/vocalist for that group, Lenny Zenith, is now living in Michigan and fronting Without Misty. Their debut 6-song EP has a zippy freshness, literate and catchy indie rock with a slightly retro, new-wavey power-pop feel, especially with the ooh-la-la backup vocals and groovy synth parts abetting the chugging guitars and solid, unintrusive drumming. From the romantic ballad "Hands" to the almost Bad Religion-like punch of "Superstar," this is a tasty intro to a band I'll be looking forward to checking out in the future. - Jersey Beat /Jim Testa
Here’s what fellow members of www.GarageBand.com have to say:
“Fun kind of Blur-meets-the-Beatles. Great backing vocals. Original. Like the break. Sounds like a fun band to go see, which is what it's all about.
Good tunes.”“..song should be on the radio b/c it is better than most of the meaningless shit on there now.
Great job!…punky naughty high school rock...“
Lyrics and phrasing are some of the most sarcastic I've heard, but not as sarcastic as the guitar solos. Great drumming. - Fellow reviewers/musicians
