Lisa Beat And The Liars Sheena Is a Beat Rocker (7inch, 45rpm)

Lisa Beat and The Liars is an Italian band from Ancona. They have been on the scene since 2016 and have released two 7″ in the last three years as "Lisa Beat e i Bugiardi". This brand new record is their first with English lyrics and represents a shift towards a more international sound.

On the A-side, the title track is a fun reinterpretation of one of the most famous Ramones songs in Mersey Beat style, "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" and it's about Sheena who moved from NYC to the foggy Liverpool of the 60s to become a real beat rocker. But instead of taking her surfboards to the Discothèque À-Go-Go, The Kids take their Rickenbackers to the Marquee Club in Soho and play some great swingin' tunes!

The B-side "Italian Sun" is based on the 60s classic "California Sun" and is a tribute to the band's origins: an invitation to take a Lambretta on a summer vacation and travel up and down the peninsula under the warm Italian sun. And yes, this song was also recorded with the early Mersey beat sound that is so inspiring for the band.

And because 3 is the perfect number, there's a bonus track: the "Liars" version of "Little Latin Lupe Lu", which was released with their first 7″ and is a perennial favorite with concertgoers everywhere.
