      Just spotted a song from 2012,

      CHEATER SLICKS - Hold On To Your Soul

      It's actually pretty, almost [whispers] like early REM, well, the vocals, anyway.

      You've already got it! But I'd suggest everything, including 45s.

      Although their 2-CD release, FORGIVE THEE was going into different territory than what I was used to.  Discography here

      I really like this band a lot, too. But, I am only most-familiar with the album "Don't Like You". What other albums from their catalog do you suggest to check out next?

      If I were to only get one more album of theirs, which one should it be?

      thanks!

      Live they're a wild maelstrom of dark energy, too, always movin' around, 1 gtr complementing the other. Bet they're glad they left Beantown, ha! Are they still in Columbus?

      Fuck, hadn't heard about it! Best of luck, Dana! I don't hear too many bands now that sound pissed off, but the Cheater Slicks always have. What's a punk band if it's not pissed off? (no, it's not a riddle). We need our anger, keep it flowin'!

      Favorite LP is Don't Like You, amaaaazing, and they always pick great covers.

      2nd fave, Whiskey, (thanks Eric D.) demented.

      I'm about to get cut off, I'll post more later.

      Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed it. YouTube playlists are a pain in the ass sometimes.

      The video links to your entire playlist, rather than the Cheater Slicks vid, for some reason.

      Anyway, love the Cheater Slicks!  My introduction to their music was pretty recent:  I heard "Spanish Rose" on Eric Davidson's We Never Learn garage punk sampler, and after listening to that tune about a zillion times I purchased Don't Like You.  It's a relief to hear that Dana is recovering quickly from his heart attack.   I narrowly missed seeing them perform live recently - they were scheduled to play back-to-back shows in NYC this summer before he was hospitalized.
