One Kiss Leads To Another

Hackamore Brick, “One Kiss Leads To Another” (Kama Sutra, 1970; reissue Real Gone Music, 2013)
A genuine Great Lost Proto-Punk Classic, in print for the first time in four decades. The Brick were the first Velvet Underground-influenced band to record (the original Modern Lovers came a year or so later). Their work takes the VU’s frantic strumming and force-beat and juices it up with wild, off-kilter teenage energy and brutally deadpan surreal humor. Foreshadowing the mid-70s CBGB bands (you can hear bits of Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, even Blondie in here), as well as the NY Dolls, this lives up to their legend and then some.
