THE DREAM SYNDICATE
KENDRA SMITH, KARL PRECODA, STEVE WYNN, DENNIS DUCK
Alternative neo-psych rockers led by Steve Wynn who were arguably the best
in the early-'80s paisley underground scene. Dream Syndicate are at the foundation
(alongside the Velvet Underground, the Stooges, and R.E.M.) of contemporary alternative
music simply because at the time when most bands were experimenting
with new technology, the Syndicate deigned to bring back the guitar

With few exceptions, the bands that rose from L.A.'s Paisley Underground scene in the '80s had only one real thing in
common -- all of them were obsessed with the rock & roll touchstones of the mid- to late '60s, whether it was psychedelia (the Rain Parade),
country rock (the Long Ryders), or AM pop (the Bangles). But while most of these bands looked to the sunny side of '60s rock,
the Dream Syndicate were the Paisley Underground's juvenile delinquents, smart but cynical and happy to spread bad vibes for
the hell of it. Nearly all of the Paisley bands were audibly Californian, but while they hailed from Davis, California,
the Dream Syndicate's key influences were significantly from the East Coast: the Velvet Underground (particularly White Light/White Heat),
and mid-'60s Bob Dylan (think Highway 61 Revisited). At the core of their sound was the bracing thrust and parry between
Karl Precoda's lead guitar, noisy and elemental but inspired in its wanderlust, and the sharp report of Steve Wynn's rhythm guitar,
yielding a tougher and more abrasive sound than their peers. Consequently, the Dream Syndicate's debut album,
1982's The Days of Wine and Roses, is arguably the finest LP to come out of the Paisley Underground's salad days, and ultimately
atypical of the movement, a blast of beautiful but ominous rock & roll chaos whose speedy guitar-based attack was
held in place by the intelligent minimalism of bassist Kendra Smith and drummer Dennis Duck...(AllMusic)
