Starting- in 1979, with their debut album "1B-52's," they were something new. With their Beehive hari- do's and their wacky vocal sound effects, they intro- 1.duced a new style of music to the old rock and roll I"'take a bat and beat your mother" heavy metal sounds that dominated the airwaves at the time. I"Rock Lobster" (the ever-popular dance tune, like - "Shout," that makes people descend onto a filthy dance floor) a bizzare song by "freaks" became a Idance anthem for the "future generation." The B- I52's paved the way for other swinging groups that are now classified as "new wave" or "punk," but all the time wereclassifed as"'danceable rock." Lost and uncategorized, the B's weren't phased. They kept hitting us with such greats (some greater than oth- ers) as "Dance This Mess Around" (they do all six- teen dancesl), "52 Girls" (some radio stations gave away prizes to those who could name all 52), "Strobe Light" (then I'm gonna kiss your pineapples),"Private Idaho" (the potato song), "Party Out of Bounds" (OK - Who ordered Pizza?) and 'Throw That Beat in the Garbage Can." Obviously some caught on better than others. Well, now the B's have a brand new album out. WHAMMYI Yep, Whammy. With the exception of the first, this album is the Whammy of the B's career thus far. Their first was basically a trial; an unpolished version of some extremely promising material. The second, "Wild Planet," was a continuation of the Don't Look Here first, but getting a little better. After 'Wild Planet,' and a long pause, a "'Party Mix" disc was released. 'This contained some of the best from their two No Looking Back albums. Their third real album, "Mesopotamia," was Gerard McMahon a giant step backwards. This one did not do well. But Warner Bros./Full Moon Records now the B-52's are back on the scene in full force. WhammyI by David Birns "Whammy" is a conglomeration of their old fun You've probably never heard of Gerard McMahon, but he's no newcomer to the loving nuttiness and less than bizzare lyrics and music scene. He began his own band and started performing professionally at age cleanly polished music and recording techniques. 13. After several years of nominal success with his group and various musical Fred Schneider has stepped back a little and wisely projects in NY, he joined up with Jackson Browne's touring band as a bassist. After let the two females, Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson that, he went to LA, formed agroup and in '81 released hisfirst album "Blue Rue" on or ARC Records. The album was not entirely successful. He left ARC Records and joined Warner Bros./Full Moon Records as a solo artist, and produced his second album No Looking Back. The album consists of 10 cuts. The best of which is "You're Wearing My Heart Out." It's a short tune about a guy who's tortured by a girl's lack of compassion. The i song has a good rockin' beat, excellent harmonies, good progressions and the music works well with the lyrics. This tune sounds like a distilled version of the Cars (only not nearly as good). The cut "Nickel Charm Jack" has some merit because of its cool, watery flow and mellow harmonies in each chorus. It's a song about the smooth- . talking fast-acting Jack who has all the show and shine of a new quarter, but comes I cheaper than a dime a dozen at the expense of many a girl's heart. The only other song deserving honorable mention is "When She Was Mine." It's a slow tempo song which McMahon sings in a sort of retrospective speech style. The song itself is about a guy who is realizing the truth of the old saying "you don't know that he's older and he regrets what ya got til its' gone."
