ABOUT THIS ALBUM


Album Notes
Ex-Not Rebecca frontman, Dave Lysien, expands his punk horizons with his band Textbook's latest release "The Great Salt Creek". Recorded live-to-tape by veteran producer John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Redd Kross, Son Volt, Burning Airlines), the album blasts through 11 tracks of powerful midwestern guitar rock that blends punk, roots, and indie-pop into one classic LP. With its great analog production, heartfelt lyrics, pounding drums, and ripping guitar solos, "The Great Salt Creek" will appeal to rock n' roll fans of any genre.

Textbook plays a type of looking-back rock that really will draw listeners back
Textbook plays a type of looking-back rock that really will draw listeners back to those halcyon days when bands like Mineral and Jets To Brazil had the hearts and minds of every hipster. The energy in which the band opens up the disc, coupled with the smooth, memorable vocals of Dave Lysien is a perfect ploy to draw listeners into the more nuanced style that dominates tracks like “Dear You, Dear”. The instrumentation present on tracks like “Dear You, Dear” is intense; with so many layers present, listeners of all types and of all styles will find something to connect with. Adding a twinge of irony to the title track with the ZZ Top meets 38 Special guitars, Textbook nonetheless subjugates this diverse style into their own distinctive sound. The track, which does seem to move more towards the country-rock of Molly Hatchet and Three Dog Night, really modifies Textbook’s sound ever so slightly to something that is appreciative of the alt-country movement (bands like Uncle Tupelo). Overall, a fun disc that will win individuals over through its radio-friendly sound, strong instrumentation, and soulful lyrics.
