The Cynics

Add Date: June 7 

Artist: The Cynics 

Album: Spinning Wheel Motel 

Label: Get Hip 

Genre: Rock 

Comments: The promo material bills long-running Pittsburgh band The Cynics as "garage rock legends", and while that's the predominant style on the first few tracks of Spinning Wheel Motel, the album then branches out into '60s and '70s-inspired pop, with The Zombies and Big Star providing noticeable inspiration. Overall, it's an interesting record; start with tracks 1, 10 and 5.
