Pop-punk stalwarts Not Rebecca harnessed that most volatile of quantities - dual singer-songwriters. Dave Lysien and Tom Counihan (now Daily) were a 10-years-later-in-Addison version of Bob Mould and Grant Hart. Since Not Rebecca hung it up in '98, Daily has released two solo discs, but apart from an assist on a Woolworthy disc, Lysien hasn't bowed until now, with "Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em," by his new band, Textbook. It's not that far removed from NR-raging hooks, plantive vocals, and some ripping good guitar leads by Lysien. Daily contributes guitar to several songs, and harmony vocals on "Rosenwinkel" and "Sunlight" are a reminder of what once was-but clearly neither he nor Lysien is wasting time looking back. (Bem Kim, Illinois Entertainer)

Lineup: Dave: vocals, guitar; Rick: bass; Tommy: lead guitar; Ian: drums

New album produced by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Buffalo Tom, Screaming Trees, Triple Fast Action) due out in 2004.
