Portland's The Dyslexics are described as punk, garage and psychedelic, but I find that to be a bit unfair and slightly unjust. The band is certainly loud and their songs are guitar driven and they turn up the reverb and fuzz to maximum overload, but they have energy and their songs are really melodic. They're not hyper fast punk rock either but they come off like an alternative rock band from the mid to late 80's. Try to think of something that would appeal to fans of say Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Husker Du and maybe even a pinch of The dB's. Fantastic record though whatever your ears and fractured mind tell you what it is; what I hear is raggedy ramshackle guitar pop at its finest! - J Castro
