THE HONG KONG, the one time mystery band from New Orleans that newly regrouped in Brooklyn, combines a unique mixture of straight ahead '60s song structures with the drive and backbone of late seventies Brit Rock. Add to that a layer of ?wall of sound? gloss and unlikely Blondie-style angelic vocals and the result is a big sound that soothes as well as it rocks. This big sound stems from the bands admiration of Phil Spector's teenage symphonies, as well as Ramones, the Jesus And Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine.
