Romeo, Tony -& The Creampies-
Autumn Song/lost My Faith
The latest sinsation from Detroit is Tony Romeo and the Creampies. They check in with #14 in I-94 Recordings' Detroit covers series. Tony returns to his lead vocal roots after having taken up bass duties (Trash Brats/Easy Action) for many years. He fronted Just Born back in the mid '80s and is joined here by Just Born alum David "Nice" Sylvester. Also joining are fellow Trash Brats alumni Ricky Rat and Brian McCarty (nee O'blivion) on guitar and bass respectively. Tony and Brian swapped out their roles in Trash Brats for the Creampies. Rounding out the sticky mess (meant in the most loving, messiest way possible) is drummer Jason Pearce. Jason is another Detroit scene veteran who has done time in Feisty Cadavers, The Highborn and many others. Currently he is also drumming for Temple Of Void where he was named one of the top 10 doom metal drummers of all time by Loudwire who knows about such things. Far from doom metal this is high energy punk rock and roll. The A-side updates Tony and Dave's Just Born classic 'Autumn Song.' Dave says about said song - "This version is leaps and bounds beyond our original and is how I always heard it in my head." On the flipside sticking with the Detroit cover theme of the I-94 Recordings singles is their take on the Junk Monkeys' classic 'Lost My Faith.'
