I first listened to the Mod Lang 7" "TV Star b/w 3+1" and learned that the band had named themselves after a Big Star song. Now, in the Bandcamp notes for their debut LP "Borrowed Time" you'll find the following statement - "Mod Lang is part of the few groups in the USA steering pop rock ‘n’ roll in the right direction (see also The Lemon Twigs, Uni Boys, and Sharp Pins)."
The page also states that the opening song "What I Can't Have" has "Beatles vs Stones melodies [that] set the tone for the remaining 30 minutes". That's quite a statement to make about a band's first song on a debut LP.
Mod Lang are based in Detroit, Michigan and "Borrowed Time" is being released by Berkeley, California label Just Add Water Records.
