Dando's Got 'No Backbone' and We've Got the MP3 to Prove It

Mr. Dando is back with the Lemonheads and sounding as 'It's a Shame About Ray' as ever. That's a very good thing in our book. Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents, ALL), we salute your production prowess (guitar solos and all). Download and listen to 'No Backbone' after the jump to see what we mean.

The Lemonheads - 'No Backbone' (MP3)

Listen to 'No Backbone'

The album drops on September 26 and our Lemonheads Interface will available on September 9. Check out a teaser (and classic) 'My Drug Buddy' here.

Editor's Note: Yes, it is a cover of a Smudge song.

Has anyone heard of J. Mello or Justin Smith (same person)? I heard him at club Bliss in Clifton NJ and he dropped this sick track "Number One" (You're the #1 girl I f*ck) but w/ Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" rhythm. Brilliant. He's a black kid from NJ, I think. Listen to "Oxy Cotton" it's about suburban kids, J. Mello is what pop/hip-hop NEEDS today! He's rapping about stuff nobody else raps about, he's NOT gansta...he's singing about poignant stuff. Passionate, just wanted to spread the word. p.s. I think his dad was a member of Kool & The Gang.

This is amazing. It's like the good ole' days all over again. Baby I'm Bored was good but a bit somber. If this whole new album is as good as "No Backbone" is a song, than it will be in constant rotation in my cd player. I wish Evan all the best and hope that his music is heard by millions more this time around. Hopefully the teens that like all these dopey emo ,will wake up and love the Lemonheads. They rock.:)

Hey this is a cool track. I miss the ole Lemonheads. Very cool stuff. Would love to hear more tracks from the album to see if it'd be worth buying. Classic Lemonheads only better!
