Even Serpents Shine

The Only Ones

The Softies (1979)
Aka Boys who pack an extra sweater

Love is just destruction under another name – [No Solution.]

Broken dreams have left you scarred beyond repair - [Someone Who Cares]

Are u a Hardee or a Softie?

I’m a softie. I like hugs. Playing D&D with my kids. Open bags of Doritos. That kind of stuff.

BUT, I also like loud music with teeth. Its feedback taking a bite out of my ass.

So bands like The Only Ones are my bread & butter. I can’t really relate to the nihilism and violence spewed by bands like Sham 69 or The Sex Pistols. I’m just too polite.

BUT, awkwardness around girls? Crazy love-hate relationships?! Alex, kind sir, I’ll take “Love Song”s for a thousand please!

And Peter Perrett, the lead singer & creative director of The Only Ones is just like me. And no. that’s not from reading his autobiography or anything like that. You just don’t have to. His heart is the open book. Filled with cottontails, sunflowers and secret kisses in that closet down the hall and to the right.

And while his band may not have got the limelight back then, Peter and his Only Ones foreshadowed the whole American Underground that was just about to happen. Bands like Galaxie 500. I mean just listen to the track "In Betweens" and try not to compare him to Dean Wareham. The voice of a long lost friend. That special someone you’d swap your Spider Man comic books with after school. A frayed sweater that u still keep in the that top drawer, just in case you need a hug.

The Verdict: For the second straight year, The Only Ones deliver a five tissue masterpiece with Even Serpents Shine. So break out some cough medicine, a deluxe box of Kleenex, and get ready to have a good old fashioned cry. [First added to this chart: 09/13/2022]
