Lick

The Lemonheads' 1989 debut for Taang! Records captures Boston’s scrappy indie punk scene at peak energy—raw, melodic, and utterly unpolished. Evan Dando’s nasal drawl cuts through fuzzy guitars and loose-limbed rhythms that feel perpetually on the verge of collapse. It’s punk rock filtered through power pop sensibility, recorded with the budget and patience of a band that simply didn’t care. Essential indie rock archaeology.
