Kenny McClain, his daughter Inez (drums and vocals) and bassist Bobby Carlson return with their 2021 album. On 'Now Where Were We' The Exbats hit the ground running like a dystopian garage rock version of the Shangri-Las, or like a message to the future from the pre-Velvet Underground doo-wop wannabe Lou Reed. The album rings bright, like a beacon in the wilderness: eminently, effortlessly catchy, and loaded with buoyant choruses that rank alongside the best chart-toppers launched by the Brill Building or Phil Spector's Wall of Sound.
