Quick Fix
The Push (Lonesome)
by Scott Hefflon
After a faltering/forgetable two-minute acoustic intro to “21st Century Boy,” Quick Fix launch into the blazing rock that’s made them one of Boston’s most prominent bands. Three records deep (their first for Lonesome, rapidly becoming home to a number of good local bands), Quick Fix (or Quickfix, depending on where you see it written) distinguish themselves by blending Britpop (Supergrass comes to mind) and good ol’ American pounding rock (early Smashing Pumpkins) with richly-textured “space rock” (Spacehog, kinda open-mouthed belt-it-out over, I dunno, Ziggy Stardust-style glam rock?) in a way that doesn’t suck.
