Massachusetts, but a whole lot of excellent music has come out of Boston over the years. In the late 1970s, when Robin Lane moved from Los Angeles to Boston, her style changed, as she turned to rock music that featured some punk and new wave influences, and The Chartbusters were formed. They were together only six years or so, but during that time released a couple of albums and a couple of EPs. 

The music is driven by guitars, giving it a no-nonsense rock feel. In addition to Robin Lane on lead vocals and guitar, the band included Leroy Radcliffe on guitar and backing vocals, and Asa Brebner on guitar and backing vocals (both of them had played with Jonathan Richman And The Modern Lovers), along with Tim Jackson on drums and backing vocals, and Scott Baerenwald on bass and backing vocals. 

It is a lot of fun revisiting these songs.

Imitation Life opens with “Send Me An Angel” and right away, you can hear a difference in the band’s sound, which is a bit harder and doesn’t have as much of that 1960s thing. “What The People Are Doing” has a darker vibe, and a cool unusual vocal approach that I like. “Baby, I’ve been feeling strange/Upside down, but you’re not to blame/In a room where shadows grow/Time fades away.” Then the title track, “Imitation Life,” comes at you at a quick pace and rocks with a certain punk energy. “I don’t want to live an imitation life,” Robin sings, and from what we can hear it seems she is in no danger of doing that.  This is one of my favorite tracks. Robin Lane then changes gears with “Say Goodbye,” a mellower tune. Then the band delivers more of that great punk energy with “No Control,” yet another highlight and probably my favorite song from Imitation Life. I totally dig this one. There is something playful about it, particularly in some of the lyrics and their delivery, and it is a lot of fun. There is even a brief drum solo near the end. Another of the LP’s most enjoyable tracks is “Pretty Mala,” a fun rock and roll tune. That’s followed by “Idiot,” which has a catchy groove and more of a pop vibe. Of all the tracks on Imitation Life, this is the one that retains some of that 1960s influence. That LP then concludes with “For You,” a slower, passionate love song. “For you, I would do anything right/I would do anything wrong.”
