Figgs, The
Follow Jean Through The Sea
As they commemorate nearly two decades together with their 10th album, following up a record that broadened their boundaries as a power-pop band (2004's Palais), THE FIGGS get back to the fundamentals: guitar, bass, drums--and more guitar. Punching out 10 songs of power-chord pleasure, the three-piece from New York state plunders '70s proto-punks like the Buzzcocks and the Only Ones, authenticating their veteran status while holding on to a youthful enthusiasm.
