Yes! Danny’s Favorites is back! The band created one of my favorite jams<\/a> of 2020, and it turned out to be the first of many appearances of the mastermind behind the band on our blog. I’m talking about Trevor Lake – we wrote about his work with Sweet Pete<\/a>, The Shine<\/a>, and multiple times about Televisionaries<\/a>. Oh, and don’t miss out his Gimme 5<\/a><\/em> feature on our site. In short, we are pretty terrible at hiding our fandom of the fellow.<\/p>\n

In all of his musical endeavours, Trevor Lake’s talent for writing fast classic rock’n’roll nuggets shines bright. Danny’s Favorites, which is all Trevor Lake on the new recordings, is probably the most punk-oriented. Like his previous tape, the new tunes have a healthy dose of Good Vibrations\u00a0 – I am referring to the legendary Belfast label, not the Beach Boys song.\u00a0 But to be fair, Lake does make the B-side of the single, a reworked version of Kirsty MacColl’s Turn My Motor On,<\/em> sound kinda Beach Boy-ish. The cover is a freakin’ blast, and I would play it more often If I could only stop playing the other song on the single. Silent Movies<\/em>, what a hit! It’s a Trevor Lake original, a song he wrote in his head while dry locking his basement after a mold outbreak. Skills!<\/p>\n
