Like many of their Seattle brethren,
The Lemons didn't quite reap the riches of the Emerald City's post-grunge sweepstakes nearly two decades ago, but it wasn't for lack of trying. In fact, the group wound up with a major record deal, though the resultant album, 1995's
Sturdy, wasn't as representative as this single which found the quartet reveling in the street smart, yet accessible purist-punk revivalism of D Generation and the like. The two tracks on deck here, "Keep Diggin" and "Ugly Stik" are primal, sneering updates of the Lemons obvious antecedents such as the Dead Boys, and remarkably tight and pleasing at that. Probably nothing you haven't experienced before, but certainly worth a few rotations.
A. Keep Diggin
B. Ugly Stik

Good post. I have a couple Lemons 7"s and always wanted to know more of the band's story.
