PANDORA - SPACE AMAZON [1974 NYC LP + 7" and booklet] – New LP

New York City’s Pandora with recordings from 1974.  It seems like a mix of glam, cock rock, underground and hard rock influences, probably Bowie, Humble Pie, and The Who, and maybe T Rex, Sonny Vincent, Slade, Zeppelin, MC5, Mountain, the Yardbirds, and Black Oak Arkansas... full of excess but some focus sometimes, the closer "Leather Boys" departing from the cuts that preceded it, and sounding like a Bolan/Bowie-influenced gay-teen anthem. While this band's sound is sort of all its own, and they sound exactly like they look, it smells a bit like Canada (maybe mixed with a little Australia) in the mid 1970s, sort of a mix of Max Webster, Trooper, Goddo, and the first Rush album from 1974, and closest comparison might be the East Coast glam/hard band Starz (who was called Fallen Angel in 1974), but likely nobody knows anything about that band (or most of those Canadian bands mentioned) so that doesn't help much.  -- winch Just give them a listen:Pandora by Supreme EchoPandora by Suprem
