The Retrograde at Schmiggity's

THOUGH THE RETROGRADE IS NOT THE FIRST BAND TO FIND INSPIRATION INTHE CLASSICS, THEY ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE FIRST TO DO SO WITH THELEVEL OF RESPECT AND ORIGINALITY THAT THEY ARE SPEEDILY BECOMINGSYNONYMOUS WITH. WHILE MANY OF THEIR CONTEMPORARIES WITH A FLAIRFOR VINTAGE ROMANTICS AND BEAT DOWN TUBE AMPS FIND THEMSELVESFALLING INTO PATTERNS OF IMITATION RATHER THAN INSPIRATION, OURTALLAHASSEE BOYS STAY CLASSIC BUT NEVER STALE, VINTAGE BUT NEVERDUSTY.
