With their second Rainbow Quartz release, “Everybody Wants A Way Out”, THE PILLBUGS have created their finest album of their career, pumping out lysergic psychedelia, crunchy rock and pristine pop. Different aspects of the album evoke XTC, The Dukes of Stratosphere, Myracle Brah and varying degrees of Pink Floyd. This is a great listen with its polished production. They have cited The Who and The Kinks as influences on this album.
Proclaiming themselves “the world’s most psychedelic band”, the Pillbugs are a Toledo, Ohio-based American psychedelic progressive rock group with previous albums of some notoriety: one landed them as the first rock band in history to release a double CD of all new original songs as their debut release (“The Pillbugs”), and another is the only known rock CD to contain a Viewmaster reel (“The 3-Dimensional In-Popcycle Dream”). Their third album “Happy Birthday” is considered their poppiest effort, and summer 2007 finally saw the release of “Buzz For Aldrin”. Their first release on Rainbow Quartz, “Monclovia”, is a special compilation featuring a dozen strong, catchy tracks hand-picked from previous releases by Rainbow Quartz label owner Jim McGarry – and is a “best of” The Pillbugs’ heavier guitar sound.
