Perhaps had
The Customers released
Green Bottle Thursday a few years deeper into the advent of the World Wide Web, I might have more to offer on them, but I'm afraid the music alone will have to suffice, search engines be damned. So as far as I can tell this quartet called Los Angeles home, but they didn't bare much Southern Cali chic, as it were, which was perfectly fine with me. In "Shipwreck" they proclaim to have "no time for the Rolling Stones," yet leadman
Ryan Sexton and axe-wrangler
Sloke possess a smoldering swagger not terribly removed from Keith Richards. Actually the Stones-y maneuvers laid out by Bash and Pop (Tommy Stinson's post Replacements meal ticket) a couple years earlier would be a better approximation of what the Customers were approaching. I'm also picking up glimmers of Dillon Fence herewhich is more likely than not a pure coincidence.
Green Bottle... is probably the most straight-up rock and roll album I've presented in awhile, but I like it, like it...

1st off, thanks for the music.
Trouser Press has some info:

Mark Slocum (aka Sloke) came from Detroit -- thus the power -- as part of The Leonards, which migrated to LA/H-Wood & released two albums prior to The Customers.
TP rates the Leonard recs high, especially the 1st.
Wait a sec, I have a record by the Leonards. Is it the one with the black cover? I think I remember another Leonards CD that came out in the mid-90s as well. It's all comiong back to me now. Thanks for the reference.
I think mine is green vinyl. I always thought this was a Minneapolis band; at least one current member lives in Minneapolis now.
Thanks
