The Len Price 3 "Nobody Knows" 2013

This band has great songs, lyrics that surprise, energetic enthusiastic playing and acerbic joy. Bands like this are why so many kids pick up guitars and sing their hearts out because they have something (often wry !) to say. Oh, yeah, they'll all be singing out with a British accent! Love this band and good to see them stretching and growing on this release. - G H Lawhead III
If you can't get enough of that early Who/Kinks sound... if you love the Jam or The Chords...if names like Billy Childish & Graham Day make your ears perk up...The Len Price 3 is a band you should hear. "Nobody Knows", the 4th LP3 LP (their first trio of albums were released on Little Steven's Wicked Cool imprint) mines little new territory. And that's just fine. It stays true to their sound...big ringing chords and massive hooks still abound. LP3's sound hasn't "evolved" much over four albums, but I never think "same old same old" when I listen to this band. No need to futz with what doesn't need futzing! - Two Tub Man

I had no idea about this band, this energy, this power - shame on me! So a very big thank you, RYP, for my belated LEN PRICE 3 enlightenment! (Mannomann, all speakers in the old Opel are starting to crack suspiciously again - this sound just doesn't work quietly or moderately). Best, TC

Das freut mich, dich und deinen alten Opel mitsamt der Lautsprecher von dieser Knaller Band überzeugt zu haben! Opel Rekord?

Schön wär's - und noch besser käm der Sound im historischen 69er Kapitän P2 meines Schwagers ... Doch ich muss gestehen, es ist nur der 10 Jahre alte ASTRA, aber, wie gesagt, selbst da kleppert und scheppert die Anlage bei den LP3 ordentlich - so soll's ja auch sein! Best & ein sonniges Wochenende Dir & Deiner Frau umme Ecke vom Baldeney, TC
