VINYL-ONLY RELEASE!! “When Tim Boykin formed the Lolas in 1998, the Birmingham, AL based singer songwriter and guitarist knew exactly what direction he wanted the band to travel in. Although the band has encountered a run of personnel changes over the years, Tim has retained the role of ringleader and remained remarkably true to his initial vision. While the term power pop has been applied to a bevy of bands these face past few decades, the Lolas serve as a surefire representation of the genre. Tightly-conceived tunes, bursting with arresting arrangements carved of punchy hooks and high energy harmonies line the band’s repertoire. Electrifying guitars that jangle and crunch aided by a coordinated rhythm section that really locks it all together factor into their chosen style of music. Since their inception they have released several studio albums as well as singles EP's and offerings on compilation sets. Such recordings have duly earned the band worldwide praise. Considering the wealth of great songs they a produce it must have been quite a challenge picking what goodies to include on this eagerly-awaited sonic summary. But the mission was eventually accomplished narrowing down to 16 tracks culled from the band’s albums. Among the gold nuggets gracing “All The Potion In The World” are “Ballerina Breakout”, me to break out “DJ Girl”, “Silver Dollar Sunday”, “Blue Shadows”, “Me and Barbara Stanwyck”, “Bon Voyage” and “When The Cold Winds Blow” which will not only satisfy long time fans, but also succeed initially pleasing the ears of newcomers. The Lolas thoroughly love the music they play, and their relentless enthusiasm encourages the audience to participate in the fun. That said, crank the record to maximum effects and sing happily along with these melodious marvels. The Lolas are a universal treasure and “All The Poison In The World” consistently affirms how valuable their contributions to the music community are!” – Beverly Paterson GREAT!!
