Nice Boys

'The Nice Boys'

Surviving member of Exploding Hearts rocks again.

Spin Rating7 of 10

No one could've blamed ex–Exploding Hearts guitarist Terry Six if he'd given up on music after a tragic 2003 van accident took the lives of his three young bandmates. But as frontman of Portland's Nice Boys, Six pays tribute to his pals in a much more meaningful way, kicking out deliciously tinny, high-glam power pop so full of life that it completely avoids the record-collector tedium of most retro rock. It's a throwback with real heart.
