What do you get when you morph the sounds of The Byrds, The Beatles, The Orgone Box, The Grip Weeds, The Rooks, The Green Pamamas, and the Pretty Things together ??? ANSWER: THE RINGLES!!! "Rickenbacker Ballet" is the 3rd release from The RINGLES. It's the latest and certainly the greatest from this wonderful psychedelic jangle pop rock band. (For the enlightened, the RINGLES sound like many of the bands from the RAINBOW QUARTZ LABEL). Come visit the spirit of 67 and let it take you higher! Thank God there are still bands out there making this type of music. Grade A.

Great sophmore cd release from Illinois power pop giants The Ringles. The Ringles are masters of the circa 1967 psych-pop sound. The band has much in common soundwise with The Green Pajamas, The Rooks, The Moon, The Pretty Things (Think S.F.Sorrow)The Resonars, and all the great 60's influenced revival power pop bands. Well done and true to the genre! Highly Recommended. This is a ride worth taking!

The Ringles have surfaced from Princeton, Illinois where they crank out their own special brand of fab four influenced pop! Think psychedelic pop, and then think of bands like The Green Pajamas. Songs like "Sour dour Sky" are really far out! This would have fit nicely on "Revolver" Then there's the opener "Mary Go Round"-I sure-fire hit with crunchy fuzzguitars and swirly fazed vocals. Or, if you like janglypop "I won't be listening" sounds like it could have beenan early Move track. Alas, the finale "Shooting Down the Sun" sounds like an out-take from the first Rooks album. So there you have it, - a straight ahead 60's laced power poppin cd just waiting to jump out of your speakers! (Fans of the Reasonars, Get Hip, and Sundazed labels, take note!). The Ringles are fabulous! Listed at #2 in Eric Sorensen's BEST top 10 power pop cds for 2001!!!!! yeah!!!!
