CUTE LEPERS, THE
SMART ACCESSOIRES (DAMAGED GOODS)
"Smart Accessories" is the title track of the Cute Lepers latest album, who, are a six/sometimes seven-piece band from Seattle, WA equally influenced by first wave punk, mod-revival, power pop, with the spirit of Johnny Thunders...together with occasional hints of doo-wop, early 60's rock 'n' roll and a load of female back-up vocals.
Led by chief songwriter Steve E. Nix & Kicks (Ex of THE BRIEFS!). This 7" Single includes the exclusive B-side YOU'RE GONNA LOSE THAT GIRL, which is a cover version of the song THE BEATLES had a hit with.
Their debut album "Can't Stand Modern Music" combined the attitude of punk rock, the style of mod, and the polished sound of pop.
The album went on to win the Best Punk Album category in the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards.
Their second album "Smart Accessories" follows much the same path and includes 13 new punk-pop classics.
