Product DescriptionGRAND PRIZE WINNER: CO-WROTE THE JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING CONTEST SONG OF THE YEAR!! ""Shine is a classic power popster of the stripped down new wave tense type, who sounds a good deal like 1977-1979 Elvis Costello when he was spitting hard into microphones and front rows - with shards of Joe Jackson, Graham Parker, Fabulous Poodles, Jags, Records, 20/20, and Nick Lowe. Accordingly, old psychedelic shack dweller and original Sparks member Earle Mankey (vintage Three O'Clock, Kristian Hoffman) is the appropriate producer to bring out the phlegm in Shine's anxious delivery and the gnarl in his post punk guitars (which keeps him edgy instead of a mere knock off). And the striking looking (with unexpected twin neck tattoos) Shine can really write, so anyone with a predilection for the above should part with the pennies."" - Big Takeover (Editor Jack Rabid)
