*Sigh.* Just a damn black and white sticker? Really? The cherry red colored wax was a sharp move, but I still think a picture sleeve of some sort was warranted. At any rate,
The Social Act features
Ellis Clark from Chicago power-pop mavens
Epicycle, a band which can trace it's roots to the late '70s. Though devoid of graphics, the music is a wholly different ball of wax, with the ace A-side, "Little Sally "O" pulling off something akin to Flesh For Lulu with a respectable AOR inflection. Thoroughly rockin' stuff, with Ellis sporting a vocal aplomb that negotiates a fusion of Robyn Hitchcock and Mick Blood of the Lime Spiders. The two flip sides, albeit not as crucial are at minimum satisfactory. The band appears to be a going concern, with a statement on their website purporting to them having recorded seven albums, but I'm not certain if all of them saw the light of day.
A. Little Sally ''O''
B1. Boog-A-Loo
B2. In Your Arms
