"Semion are a five-piece band from London whose
seven song disc, Get A Grip, falls nicely between the moody jangle
of R.E.M. and the equally moody darker sound of Outrageous Cherry.
Lead singer/songwriter Gary Ford's excellent reverb-soaked vocals
are a perfect complement to the guitar sounds of Paul De Ste.
Croix. Songs like Paul Loves Derek the folky, catchy
Dumb the wonderful Year Of The Monkee
and Under The Sea, with its flange effects, should
be loved by anyone who yearns for the days of that college radio
sound."
