The Mighty Lemon Drops - Hollow Inside & Into The Sun
1 Comments Published by Tom on Sunday, January 20, 2008 at 5:05 PM.
Here is a Mighty Lemon Drops video I found on you tube (where else?) which I didn't know even existed. It's for Hollow Inside a track from their second album World Without End (1988). It was never going to be a single so I am not sure why the video was made.
Into The Sun was going to be the band's last ever single. However it was never released but was taken from their vastly under-rated final album called Ricochet (1992) which only ever saw a state side release.

My unofficial Mighty Lemon Drop website, with two concerts available for downloading, can be found here. It needs updating!

The Pristines released their latest single towards the end of last year on Cloudberry Records. However this Coventry based band, who took their name from the Sea Urchins Pristine Christine track, are hardly new to the indie pop scene and have been around for a number of years. Best known for their releases on Sunday Records, especially the 1995 album Teen-Fraud, Pop-Whore Pt 1, the band are still recording today and are looking for a label to release their music on. I hope it's not a long wait. There is an entertaining biography of the band on their website which saves me the job of having to supply a condensed version.
Now to the music. What do the band sound like? It's a classic indie pop sound echoing the likes of The Field Mice, Sarah Records, Creation Records although at times The Pristines head into lo-fi, almost folkish territory.
