With pristine production and excellent songs, the Sons of
Elvis, one of Cleveland's best semi-undiscovered modern rock
quartets, announced their arrival on the band's 1994 debut,
Glodean. Led by monster bassist Dave Hill and gifted singer
John Borland, the band managed to create a little buzz for
itself in its native Cleveland, only to later relocate to New
York City where three of the band members attended college.
After some significant airplay on Cleveland's premier
alternative station, a mini bidding war erupted to acquire
the act. Unfortunately, in a classic case of Bad Career
Decisions 101 and a Spinal Tap-like misappropriation of
funds, the band signed to the tiny American Empire imprint
only to see its hopes of success crash and burn when the
label literally ran out of money to work the band's release.
Luckily, or unluckily in this case, the band got another
break when Priority decided to give the band a shot by
re-releasing Glodean along with the label's other big hoopla
at the time, Magnapop. Magnapop and the Sons would prove to
be the guinea pigs for Priority's new, dead-on-arrival rock
division, where the album sank without a trace. Remarkably,
Glodean is brimming with topnotch songs like opener
"Nothing's Wrong," "Junky Mom," and especially the
should-have-been-a-hit "Formaldehyde." Neatly produced by
longtime friend and Paw/L7/Walt Mink producer/engineer Mr.
Colson, it's a shame that the band never got its time in the
sun. Look for Glodean in the used section of your favorite
record store. John Franck
