Alex Kerns, the foxy drummer/vocalist from Buffalo's leading (only?) power-pop band Lemuria, has just released a pretty rad demo. You can download the whole thing from here, a great website that is entirely worth an afternoon's exploration. Back to Alex, most know him as the baritone male vocal to Sheena's mousy crooning in Lemuria. This release sees him left to his own devices, and my, he has some nifty devices: short songs with catchy as hell pop sensibilities that never outstay their welcome. The lyrics are centered around romance, familiar territory but done with a strong sense of humor and reality: honesty without artificial sweetner. This demo EP is something many would count as an official release. And while it's certainly good enough to be, this drummer turned one-man power pop band could have an even stronger full-length record in him.
