The Lyres are one of the best and most influential bands that emerged from the garage rock scene in the early 1980s. The Lyres are from Boston and are largely the musical outlet of Jeff Connelly. You can actually read the story of the band that are included in the liner notes of this CD. This reissue includes the full "A Promise is A Promise" album that was released originally in 1988. This reissue includes the original album (LP) and the extra tracks that were included on the cassette and CD version of the LP. Remember when record companies put more songs on the CD to get you to buy the CD and or both the LP and the CD? I am glad they stopped doing that.
Some of you may not have any idea what the 'garage-rock' scene was or is but let me tell you that if you simply like rock'n'roll, then go and buy everything by this band. Regardless of their "genre', The Lyres are just a great RnR band. I can't recommend this CD enough.
To get a feel about what I mean, take a listen to the opening track which is just perfect. Here's A Heart
And for something in a minor key, Worried About Nothing
