    Graham's such a character. He's shy and yet he spews forth such angry squiggles on his guitar. It's not perfect, but it's a stack better than all that punk pop and emo out there.

  1. It's hard to imagine The Golden D as having much of an impact.
  2. Whereas the first solo effort was somewhat lo-fi and reminiscent of Lou Barlow, Golden D, which is named after the musical chord, focuses on rock -- the hard and fast variety -- and suggests Sonic Youth and Sex Pistols.
  3. Sounds more like a toss-off by a drunk band in the studio.
