1. Smooth Control
2. Special Ed
3. Teenage Loser Anthem
4. Drive By Kiss
5. Lazy Eye
6. Bending Machine
7. Velocidad
8. Rocket To The Moon
9. Cosmonaut

11. Down
12. I Forget Myself
The Dambuilders were formed out of the ashes of the new wave band The Exactones. Coming from, of all places, Hawaii, The Dambuilders began evolving into something more than new wave. This is a terrfific sounding band with a stinging sound puctuated by the violin of Joan Wasser, who uses it less to the effect of ELO and more as a dangerous sounding weapon. In all, this was a great band that had just begun to fully realize their sound when the split in 1997.
That said, I'm going to recommend that you pass on Ruby Red, unless you are already a fan. Why? To put it simply, The Dambuilders sounds fully arrives on this record, leaving most of the songs sounding way too far behind. The songwriting would catch up...but here, it's not at a comfortable enough level. There are some great sparks..."Smooth Control" is a great song, and "Rocket To The Moon" is about as good as it gets. But there's just too much searching for the right mix here to make it all work. It sounds great, but the songs are just not there yet. [First added to this chart: 11/17/2024]
