Dynatronics
My Eyes Are Turned Inside/i Feel Obscene
The Dynatronics are three old pals from Maidenhead, Berkshire who used to be in a band together, eons ago in the late '80s and early '90s, namely Mike Wheeler (guitar, vocals), Andrew 'Fuzz' Sutton (bass, guitar, vocals) and Dan Taylor (drums, vocals), he also of The Veras. Fame and fortune eluded them, but Sushil Dade of The Soup Dragons liked them enough to pass their demo tape to a German fanzine editor, who wrote to them to tell them they were 'better than The Chesterfields, Pop Will Eat Itself and all that f**king sh1t!'. It certainly made them chortle. Two support slots for The Wonder Stuff/PWEI fell through shortly after, but at least some bandmates of the luckless trio did go on to bigger and better things, with Extreme Noise Terror, New Model Army and er, that's it. Fast forward thirty plus years, and Mike called the other two up, suggesting they re-record some of the songs they recorded back in the day, and record some others that they never got around to at the time. So they booked themselves into Morgan Nicholls' studio - he of Senseless Things and Vent 414 fame, who has also worked with Muse, The Gorillaz, Lily Allen and The Who. With Morgan in charge of production and adding some rather delectable Hammond, Clavinet and sundry other snazzy sounds as the de facto and very much unofficial fourth member of the band, the lads knocked out a bunch of goodies, including the two on this, their debut single. With the A side being a newie, and the AA side being an oldie, these songs draw inspiration from a few particular sets in the lads' humungous venn diagram of musical faves, mainly those covering some of the great '60s beat groups such as The Who, The Move and Cream, and later bands drawing inspiration from them, such as The Prisoners. All with a dash of Morgan Nicholl's special elixir of contemporaneity, to bring them back up to date. Sort of. Limited to 300 copies on vinyl.
