Considine Baltimore Sun one of the things drummer Cairn Mclaughlin likes Best about America is its Lack of expectations a particularly when it comes to his band that. Petrol emotion. A granted some of that stems from the fact that the group remains pretty much unknown in the United states. Most stateside Rock fans done to know much More about this. Northern Irish quintet than its single the Perky hey Venus or latest album chem crazy. To Many americans tha petrol emotion is essentially a Brand new band. Whereas in Britain where the petrol were immediately hailed As the second coming of the legendary Punk group the undertones things Are very different. That petrol emotion has been a major attraction on the English Rock scene since 1986, when the group s first album manic pop thrill was released to near Universal acclaim in the English music press. British Rock critics can to maddeningly fickle though. Quot the journalists have too Many preconceptions about what they want the band to be rather than what the band is Quot complains Mclaughlin Over the phone from his record company a los Angeles offices. A Quot you re constantly disappointing people because their preconception has t been born out. Right from the Start they wanted us to be the undertones Mark Model ii a and we weren t that.

Things got particularly Sticky for the petrol after the band released its third album 1988 s end of the millennium psychosis blues unlike the groups earlier efforts which emphasized.

Quot at that time Quot says Mclaughlin. Quot we were listening to a lot of soul music a Curtis Mayfield sly amp the family Stone things like that. And it s just a natural thing for this group to incorporate what it s listening to at the time into its music Quot that change in direction Quot upset a lot of people in England Quot he adds. Quot but the thing about it is that now in England everybody s doing dance music. All the so called Rock bands Are trying to get into dance music. So in a Way we have been vindicated a albeit 18 months too fortunately the petrol profited from the lesson As chem crazy. Makes Plain. Quot this time the songs that Are danceable on this record Are More like petrol songs. They weren t written As dance songs they just turned out that Way and that s Why they re Good Quot the drummer says.
