Single Review

The Lyres
How Do You Know? Dirty Water Records 7�

Article written by Ged M - May 9, 2007

North London�s Dirty Water Club time travels to 1979 for its third single release, a reissue of the Lyres� debut single. For those who don�t know, the Lyres are a great Boston band and real �children of Nuggets�, whose sound is driven by Jeff Conolly�s frantic keyboards. �How Do You Know?� takes a bitter swipe at the tastemakers (his former band DMZ had just gone tits-up after being screwed around by some major label): �people tell me I�m going places/ I feel like singin�/ �how do you know?��. But the highlight of the single is the incredible AA-side �Don�t Give It Up Now� with its tough, grungy garage rock riffs with echoes of The Seeds and Kenny & The Kasuals. You say �retro� - I say �timeless�.
