Pushstart Wagon - L.A. Was Our Alamo review by Miles of Music:


Just when you think there is something Replacements-like about So-Cal's Pushstart Wagon, you hear the word "replacement" 50 seconds into the opening track, "Paul". Then it happens a few more times and you realize this is no coincidence. The nod to Westerberg in the acknowledgements seals it. This strong opening number mixes Big Star guitar chime with Replacements style rock anthems. As L.A. Was Our Alamo progresses, elements of the band's other influences - U2, Pavement, Wilco - feel present, but never dominate. Singer/guitarist/lyricist Steve Guiles helps paint an opaque and gauze filtered vocal flow with crafty, thought provoking lyrics that expose the absurdity of the Los Angeles mythos and the quirks of its lovelorn residents. As a power trio, Pushstart Wagon sways from rootsy guitar pop to melodic and powerful passion rock with ease, packing every hook with vibrancy and high spirit. (self-released)

Nice, huh?
