Living is the Best Revenge so......HERE WE ARE Again!
The Mighty Cynics ARE back with a New LP and the same fuzzed out mayhem that made their live shows legendary. In the past two years The Cynics were extremely active, playing shows & festivals 'round the big blue marble. They even did a few acoustic shows which spotlighted the rich song writing talents of the Kastelic/Kostelich team. Never has this talent been more on display than on on the new LP.
Certainly this new recording could only be done at ONE PLACE!
CIRCO PERROTTI Studios with DR. EXPLOSION in GIJÓN, Spain
THE BEST MUSICIANS (Pibli y Kaplan) and BEST STUDIO (all analog) IN THE WORLD! DR. Explosion is the most innovative and HIP producer alive today!!
Here's what the cognoscenti of Trash are saying about the new LP:
"The Cynics are sure to gain a wider appeal than ever before with their newest album......Gregg Kostelich's playing and arrangement here is tightened to such an extent that every influence shines through with infectious clarity.... ....Michael Kastelic's singing is his most expressive in years. The lyrics continue the familiar laments of loneliness, and lost or unobtainable love, but with a surpassing wit and expanded poetic pallette.... ....."Here We Are" proves in musical terms, that the "We" in it's title refers not just to The Cynics themselves, but to their audience as well. The accomplishment of such a feat is not to be underestimated......" GP Colton. Listener/Writer/King of Men
BUY "Here We Are"
____________________________________________________________ _____________****The CYNICS ROCKNROLL CD is Back In Stock! ****
The "Legendary" 3rd LP by The Cynics. This release shows the band continuing to mature as writers and musicians. Cuts like "Now I'm Alone" and "Girl, You're on My Mind" are hits that should have been. Other cuts like "Baby, What's Wrong" and "Way, It's Gonna Be" show the Cynics at a peak of energy, creativity and ability.
This album is a staple for any garage collection. Even If you Have this Record, you need to Buy the New CD!The 2007 Reissue has been remastered and includes a bonus Track from the same session.*Also available on 180-gram LP Here.
