The Len Price 3 - Pictures

"The Len Price 3 made the rather wise decision to make a few alterations to their winning formula on the band's third album, 2010's Pictures. Their love of mid-'60s Who, mid-'60s Small Faces, and mid-'60s garage rock still blasts forth from the speakers like a high-volume mash note, their performances are still energetic and powerful, and they still have a youthful enthusiasm that helps them leap past any charges of being mere slavish imitators of past greatness. Pictures is easily the equal of the impressive Rent a Crowd, possibly even superior. It depends on how attached you were to the punk-y aspects of their sound, the rawness and looseness that informed Rent. With the help of producers Jim Riley and Graham Day (who used to lead the Prisoners), the group has slicked up their sound just a little, and added some accouterments like horns and organ (even some strings on the moody ballad "Jack in the Greens"). It's a definite first step out of the garage and into something bigger." - All Music Guide
