(Indie Rock, Power Pop) Liar’s Club - Come and Go - 2013, MP3, V0

As with the Posies, Liar's Club barely resembled much of the metal-fueled rage rock that sprouted from the Pacific Northwest in the late '80s and early '90s. It would be almost accurate to say that Liar's Club epitomized the friendlier, more melodic side of Seattle music; the only problem with that description would be that Liar's Club was from nearby Tacoma and not Seattle, which is probably why the group was often ignored when any artist emanating from the Emerald City was considered to be a potential Buzz Bin video on MTV.
Liar's Club was formed by members of the Tacoma-area cover band PG-13. Liar's Club started out as a trio: Jayson Jarmon (vocals, guitar, bass), Kevo X Thomson (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Brad McLane (drums). When McLane left the band, they recruited new guitarist Scott McPherson (vocals, guitar). At this point, Liar's Club played with a series of drummers including ex-Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen.
Liar's Club was unusual among Seattle and Tacoma bands in the late 1980s and early 1990s because they focused on melodic pop and intricate studio production, while grunge and punk music were popular in Seattle at that time. They achieved regional radio success and were often associated with the humorous advertising campaigns that accompanied their records.
Notable songs include "Espresso Girl" (which used the now-popular phrase "Thanks-a-latte...") which received solid commercial and college airplay in the Pacific Northwest. "Cinnamon Smiles" achieved a posthumous No. 1 spot in garageband.com's pop charts in 2002.

The perennially clever, pop purists from Tacoma, WA are back with their fifth studio album after a multi-year hiatus. With a new album “Come and Go," Liar's Club once again ply the airwaves and the netwaves with their infectious blend of thinking man's pop and wry social observation.
