The Len Price 3 "Rentacrowd" 2007

On their Wicked Cool Records debut, RENTACROWD, The Len Price 3 delivers fourteen nuggets of raw garage rock. The band was born in the back room of a pub in the heart of the Medway Delta, UK, and they burst on the international scene with their 2005 debut album, CHINESE BURN (also now available on Wicked Cool). - amazon
"The title song on RENTACROWD (Wicked Cool), the fantastic second album by English avenging-garage trio the Len Price 3, is two minutes and change spangly '65-Who-ish spleen against Britain's hysterical addiction to flavor-of-the-month bands who are supposed to save rock & roll with fab hair and half an album's worth of decent songs. The 3- singer-guitarist Glenn Page, bassist Steve Higgins and drummer Neil Fromow (there is no Len Price) have a right to feel superior. RENTACROWD is packed with perfectly vintage dynamite (Julia Jones, Girl Like You, Cold 500) that pays outright homage to the primal Kinks and the R&B whiplash of Dr. Feelgood but with a contemporary, fighting trim to rival the Arctic Monkeys. Rock & roll doesn't need saving; the cure's right here." --David Fricke, Rolling Stone
"The Len Price 3 is defiantly out of step with the times. They unabashedly borrow from The Kinks, The Who and even cop a little Rickenbacker guitar from The Byrds, and are proud of it. As they should be. RENTACROWD, the British trio's new long player on Little Steven Van Zandt's Wicked Cool label, is the rock n' roll record of the year so far....An ear-grabbing blast from start to finish, RENTACROWD is a refreshing blast of classic rock n' roll in the best sense of that term. If you get it, you'll really dig it." --Lincoln Journal Star
"Absolutely the coolest of the cool out of Britain right now. Wicked cool I dare say!" --Little Steven Van Zandt
