After releasing a
well-received, four-song EP, “Diana Dors”, Ed Rogers and Stephen Butler have
unleashed their first full-length album, “Poets & Sinners”. Once
again the duo display their stunning melodic songwriting talents, and along
with Don Piper’s production skills, have delivered their strongest music to
date with eleven brand-new compositions.
Besides Piper, they are also joined by some of New York City’s best
known musicians: Sal Maida (Roxy Music, Sparks), Dennis Diken (Smithereens),
and Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs, Robert Hazard). With Butle on board, you
know the guitars will upfront and aplenty!
“The fact that the two share the same
tastes as far as the music is concerned helps ensure success. On songs such as
‘Roll the Stone,’ ‘A Satisfied Mind,’ ‘Olde Store Fronts,’ and ‘Fashion
Industry’, the Anglophile aim is obvious.
Hints of the Kinks, the Zombies, Ian Hunter, the Pretty Things, and ELO
are consistently apparent.” – AmericanDongwriter.com “With the two ebullient, sound-alike,
Ray Davies-evoking crooners trading lead vocals, their debut full-length
continues the melodic, jocular, and robust pop/rock of the ‘Diana Dors’ EP.
While there’s a decided Kinks influence
throughout – see the shadowy, paranoid title track and jaunty ragtime/dancehall
of ‘Skimming Milk from the Cream’ and ‘Noel Coward,’ a paean to the funny and
flamboyant English playright, actor, and singer – the diverse LP also recalls
plenty of other harmonious heavyweights, from Teenage Fanclub (‘A Satisfied
Mind’), The Beatles (‘Writing to the Moon’), and TV Smith (‘Olde Store Fronts’),
to The Who/Byrds (‘Jump Like Alice’), The Moody Blues (‘Luv Lock Bridge’), and
David Bowie (‘The Other Side of Midnight’).” – BigTakeover.com GREAT!!
