Our Take

Ah, the Rubinoos - a band that seems to have fallen through the cracks of music history, yet still manages to captivate listeners with their infectious pop sensibilities. Their latest release, "CBS Tapes," is a delightful trip down memory lane, showcasing the band's early recordings in all their lo-fi glory.

The red and black splatter vinyl is a nice touch, adding a playful visual element to the listening experience. But what really shines on this album is the Rubinoos' songwriting. Tracks like "Rock and Roll is Dead" and "Memory Lane" are catchy, hook-laden gems that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time.

While the production quality may leave something to be desired, it's all part of the charm of this collection. The raw, unpolished sound only adds to the nostalgia factor, making you feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden gem from the past.

Overall, "CBS Tapes" is a fun, quirky journey through the early days of the Rubinoos. Fans of power pop and garage rock will find plenty to love here, and even newcomers to the band's music will be drawn in by the infectious energy and catchy melodies. So go ahead, give this album a spin - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

The Rubinoos

Ah, the Rubinoos. The band that time seems to have forgotten, but those in the know understand their influence on power pop. Hailing from Berkeley, California, this quartet burst onto the scene in the mid-70s with their catchy hooks and harmonies that could make even the most stoic listener tap their foot. Led by the talented Jon Rubin, the Rubinoos quickly gained a cult following with their infectious tunes and witty lyrics. They may not have achieved the commercial success of some of their peers, but their music has stood the test of time, influencing a generation of musicians who appreciate their blend of rock and pop sensibilities. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1977, remains a classic of the genre, showcasing their ability to craft memorable melodies and clever wordplay. Tracks like "I Think We're Alone Now" and "Hard to Get" are as relevant today as they were over four decades ago, proving that good music is timeless. Despite their ups and downs, the Rubinoos have continued to release music over the years, staying true to their signature sound while keeping things fresh and exciting. Their latest album, "From Home", is a testament to their enduring talent and passion for creating music that speaks to the heart. While the Rubinoos may not be a household name, those in the know understand their place in music history. So next time you're looking for something a bit off the beaten path, give the Rubinoos a listen and discover the magic of this underrated band.
