| | Paisley Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Paisley Underground bands incorporated psychedelia, rich vocal harmonies and guitar interplay in a folk rock style that owed a particular debt to The Byrds, but more generally referenced the whole range of 1960s West Coast pop and garage rock, from the Seeds to the Beach Boys. | | | Not to be confused with Paisley, a type of punk, but ironically upbeat, and sung with lyrics that would normally be directed at children. | | | The wider movement of which it is a part is named jangle pop after the ringing, light guitar sounds it often features. |

| | Blogcritics.org: Sunday Morning Playlist: Paisley Underground |
| | Most (but not all) paisley underground bands borrowed heavily from the ringing guitars of the Byrds, and in the drones, raga-rock, and colorful whimsy of the late 60's psychedelic bands. | | | Still, much paisley underground music remains good listening to this day; it bridged a gap from the 60's to the neo-psychedelia of 90's dream pop, and remains a colorful offshoot of jangle pop, one of the more important 80's rock movements. | | | The band didn't like the pigeonhole the "paisley underground" tag stuck them in, and by the time of their 1983 debut album, Gravity Talks (on Slash records), they had already toned down the psychedelic devices in favor of a roots-rock approach reminscent of John Fogerty. |

| | No big deal, except for this; that paisley underground record, Beneath the Shadows, is one of the best overlooked albums of the 80s, and this record has a reworked song that got cut from Shadows, and a few songs that fall in the same mode. | | | They started out as political hardcore and moved through death rock, paisley underground psych-pop and then got a bit roots rock. | | | They were there at the start, constantly changing their line up and constantly changing their sound. |

| | As a member of the long-defunct Green on Red--the Paisley Underground band that during the '80s crafted a rustic roots-rock sound laden with punk sensibilities, and served as a precursor to the current crop of Americana artists--the San Francisco-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist often visited Memphis blues and blue-eyed Southern soul in his songs. | | | Prophet eventually recorded one EP and eight albums with the band for both indie and major labels. | | | Still, Prophet balks at the suggestion that the Paisley Underground was a real musical movement. |

| | Lost Bands Of The New Wave Era: True West and The Dream Syndicate |
| | The title track of their Hollywood Holiday album is absolutely superb, sparkling chiming guitars and a gorgeous languid vocal that sounds very like Steve Kilbey from the criminally underrated The Church. | | | Both bands played driving, feedback-laden, psychedelic, guitar-drenched rock and were lumped into what was dubbed the "Paisley Underground" and "Big Guitar Band" movements. | | | True West debuted with the single "Lucifer Sam" which was a cover of an early Pink Floyd song. |

| | Originally released as a vinyl LP in 1985 with 9 songs, Paisley Pop is reissuing this nearly forgotten gem, a collector’s piece amongst pop fans, for the first time on CD. | | | It's a question well worth asking, because today's underground scene is inevitably tomorrow's mainstream--and judging by this outpouring of pop albums, radio at the turn of the millennium is going to deliver an endless stream of sugar--edgeless music adrift in a sea of melody. | | | Jangle Pop was a mostly American post-punk movement of the mid-'80s that marked a return to the chiming guitars and pop melodies of the '60s. |

| | Reviews - Jupiter Affect |
| | The album's thirteen songs narrow the gap between the paisley pop of the Three O'Clock and PGL's edgier rock and glimmer with a psychedelic sheen. | | | It was Michael Quercio who coined the term Paisley Underground, and the band he fronted for much of the '80s, the Three O'Clock, exemplified the style: swooning melodies, choirboy vocals and neoclassical filigrees atop brisk, '60s-rooted rock. | | | And out of those like-minded people sprang a host of bands -- the Dream Syndicate, the Bangles, Rain Parade, Green on Red, and Quercio's own group, the Three O'Clock -- who made noise in early-Eighties' Los Angeles by puffing their own spin on the "old music" they were so enamored with. |

| | The album’s opener “Astral Man” is a perfect lead-in to their sound, all paisley and pachouli, but never anything less than a great rocker. | | | A quartet led by brothers Kurt (drums, vocals, songs, more) and Rick Reil (guitars, vocals, songs, more) with Kristin Pinell (guitars, vocals, more) and bassist Michael Kelly, they’ve managed to fully submerge their influences into a unique and refreshing rock sound, much in the vein of the great Paisley Underground bands from the mid-‘80’s California. | | | Bottom line, give me a hard-rockin’ band with excellent songs, 3-4 part harmony, and a touch of paisley, and the occasional sitar, and I’m there. |

| | Paisley Underground was a short-lived movement from the west coast of the US in which country rock was mixed with psychedelia to create albums of gently soulful songs that spun off into the sunset with the sounds of the late-sixties. | | | One suspects, however, that if pushed, Marjorie Fair would happily admit a debt to Paisley Underground as the sound of psychedelia is deeply rooted in their sound, mixing electric guitars, sweet harmonies and experimental rock into gentle and drifting country rock. | | | Please support CD Times by ordering through our partners |

| | The sound was defined (or, better, left undefined) by the juxtaposition of the psychedelic overtones of keyboardist Chris Cacavas (reminiscent of Ray Manzarek and Al Kooper, as well as of the guitar fuzz) and the folk-rock accents of guitarist Dan Stuart. | | | Zodiac Mindwarp and Gaye Bykers On Acid were the leaders of the "grebo" movement, which bridged punk and hippie culture. | | | The Dream Syndicate (12), formed by guitarists Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda and bassist Kendra Smith, acted as the natural liaison between Television (and the new wave in general) and the new generation of psychedelic rockers. |
