About Me |
|
| Luxury Pushers are a punishing, double-barrel sonic swagger and a post-trash, ugly-pretty aesthetic. They pack a smart-ass sneer that's never smug; taking the immediate, snot-rocket earnest of the American punk tradition and dragging its proud-but-winded ass into the 21st century. The punks think they're a Rock and Roll band but the rockers think they're Punk and it's all just splitting hairs at that point anyhow.Original members, regional stalwarts and ex-Mystery Addicts, Jamy Holliday (guitar, vocals) and Eric Purtle (bass, vocals) met as teenagers but LXP serves as the culmination of the two's years as collaborators. They've weathered lineup changes along the way but the addition of heavy hitters C.Wright on guitar and Bryan LaBonte behind the kit ushered in the quintessential LXP lineup.The band's recorded output features 2003's self-released, five-song e.p. "Eat It," which was used in its entirety for director Guy Capo's adult feature "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll." It garnered band and director a 2004 AVN-award nomination for Best Soundtrack. January 2005 saw the release of "Quitter's Holiday;" a seven-song maxi-e.p. nicely illustrating the band's evolution, not only as songwriters, but also as an ensemble. "Welcome To the Party Traitor" was finished in 2006 and features serious crowd pleasers in '3 Minute Manifesto' and 'On The Mend'. Like a half-shot van with suspect brakes on the steepest of grades' downside, LXP is building scary momentum.Luxury Pushers fend off occasional references to the usual suspects: The Dead Boys, the Dolls as pertains to Messrs Thunders and Johanssen, Backyard Babies, etc. This sort of thing is inevitable when you attempt to encapsulate everything that's currently right (or ever was, for that matter) about rock 'n' roll. But rest assured that Luxury Pushers' oeuvre will not be pigeonholed that easily. It operates in austere defiance to neo-retro retreads of retreads. It's stand-up fall-down punk rock 'n' roll with a difference, plain and simple. LXP now...
