The Vacant Lots

Rock & Roll is almost 60 years old if it hasn't left that milestone behind it already as it trudges on its weary way. It has an incredible ability to churn out the same sounds and emotions intermittently even all this time later for credulous punters in search of a thrill. Here are The Vacant Lots. They sup at the well of Suicide particularly greedily. Apparently they have the old sages' blessing. No doubt they've also cupped their ears to Jesus & Mary Chain, Spacemen 3 and others far too numerous to mention who chose to wear black, act hard and look mean. They're also called The Vacant Lots which is a fine name whichever way you look at it. As Richard Hell suggested pretty much forty years back, when it was all so young. 'Drop it in the vacant lot..'
