The Singles debut, Better Than Before was recorded at Ghetto Recorders with Jim Diamond (White Stripes, The Sights) twiddling knobs. The band purposely kept overdubs to a minimum and the recording yields a magnificent live feeling.
Being huge music fans, and having been weaned on their parent's record collections (which included The Zombies, Beach Boys, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Roy Orbison records among many others), it's not hard to make immediate musical comparisons when listening to The Singles. There is a logical progression in mind however, and it goes far beyond this debut release.
"Our main goal is to record two albums a year," Vincent notes, "I hate how long bands take to release a follow up album. The Beatles progressed perfectly. If you want to understand what I'm getting at, listen to their albums chronologically."
As for reactions to the record, Vincent says: "I just hope we go over as well as everyone who hears the record will let us."
".Put a pinch of the jangle pop and mod rock that The Kinks created into your head, play The Beatles' Please Please Me on your turntable, then hum a Buddy Holly tune out loud. You just may hum a Singles song . . ." - Real Detroit Weekly
