Like a 60s spy-movie theme blasting through an aluminum-siding-covered one-car garage, The Love Me Nots do fuzzy, farfisa-drenched spy rock like it's 1968 again. Only louder this time.
Look for the single "Give Em What They Want" on Little Steven's comp, The Coolest Songs In The World Vol 8.

Rock and Roll done right
author: Mike Madden
I give it five stars because there isn't a bad or mediorcre song on this whole album! Michael Walker plays the guitar like he was in the ventures or surfaris and left to be in a better band, and Nicole Laurene really puts it out there and plays the keyboards well too! Christine Nunez on guitar and Jay Lien keep the band rocking. It doesn't get any better than this! This band made me a fan of garage rock! Great just Great! You have got to listen to You're really something, the song is like the title really something.

Detroit
author: Kenny Robinson
The Love Mo Nots successfully avoid the sophomore slump with their new album Detroit in a big way. Although stylistically similar to In Black And White, Detroit is leaner, meaner and very focused and tight. Lead singer Nicole is a marvel at projecting personality and emotion without overwhelming the band dynamic and guitarist Michael Walker is a one man shredding crew with his distinctive burts of melodic fuzz erupting from every song. The songs are consistently catchy and filled with hooks a mile wide and garage rock doesnt get much better than Youre really something, I'm the one and Love Letter. This Cd is highly recommended and is a solid, well crafted and consistently good example of garagy yet melodic rock n roll.
