Led by guitarists Dave Portolano and Brian Lindgren, with various rhythm sections, Vicious Beatniks played raw, wordy rock with one foot in the revolutionary ’60s, the other in the no-future ’80s. Trash can drums and sometimes shaky bass playing do not detract from these bleak and bitter songs about suburban love gone wrong. “If we didn’t have each other/Where would we be?/Drinking alone somewhere until we can’t see.” The sound of Suffolk County, 1990.
