Despite it's strikingly miscellaneous cover art, this record boasted significantly more definition than I was expecting. The name
David Marko & The Trade has the ring of a power pop band, and indeed this trio is guilty as charged, albeit I don't think these guys slotted in too comfortably with the skinny tie brigade. If anything they hail the old school here, as so much of
...Piranha is steeped in the first couple of Raspberries albums, early Rubinoos, and perhaps even the Scruffs. Marko and Co. emanate a rather wholesome vibe, screeching just shy of a precious halt on the winsome "Hold Me" and "The Last to Know." The beefier "Eden Again" is more in line with this disk's '82 copyright, but when all is said and done these guys were classicists who never really intended to rock the boat. David Marko & The Trade are virtual no-shows on the search engines, and their whereabouts are an unknown quantity. Perhaps my copy of this album was missing an insert? Enjoy.
