engl.: Power-pop& garage-punk get hitched! Led by singer/guitarist/songwriter Evan Fosterand keyboardist Nick C., Seattle based band the BOSS MARTIANS release their fifth album, ''The Set Up''. Produced by Johnny Sangster (YOURG FRESH FELLOWS, THE POSIES) and mixed by Jack Endino (NIRVANA, ZEN GUERRILLA, SOUNDGARDEN, HOT HOT HEAT), ''The Set Up'' is the BOSS MARTIANS most accomplished record,integrating all aspects of the band?s musical personalities: power-pop, garage, punk, Pacific Northwest Soul and rock?n?roll. The album?s 13 songs feature Evan Foster?s muscular vocals (compared to SMALL FACES? SteveMarriott, the BUZZCOCKS? Pete Shelley and Elvis Costello) and his stellar CHEAPTRICK-meets-punk guitar-playing, as well as Nick C.?s Hammond, synth andVox-Jaguar keyboard work (he?s the Jon Lord of the garage-punk scene!). ''The Set Up'' spotlights the band?s best material to date. Songs such as the anthemic''I am your radio'', the pining pop love letter ''Oh, Angela'' and the frenzied ''Kill my telephone'' are instant power-pop classics, while Angus-and-Malcolminspired ''Stress case'', the electric and catchy ''I wanna be your addiction'' and the assailing title track break new garage-punk ground. With ''The Set Up'', the BOSS MARTIANS nail their reputation as one of the best rock?n?roll bands on the scene today..
