艺人介绍

by Stephen Thomas ErlewineWhile the Sneakers never made much of an impact when they were together, the band marks the first appearance of several seminal figures of the alternative pop scene of the early 80s. Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter, and Will Rigby formed the core of the Sneakers, writing well-crafted, guitar-driven pop rockers; their self-titled debut EP was engineered by Don Dixon, who went on to be a successful producer, as well as a solo artist. After one excellent full-length album, the Sneakers broke up. Stamey and Rigby went on to form the dBs, one of the 80s best American guitar pop bands; Easter led Lets Active, as well as becoming a record producer (including R.E.M.s first two albums). However, the Sneakers are more than a historical curiosity; although they didnt record very much, their album and EP contain some of the finest power pop of the late 70s.
