My tribute to Garage bands like the The Kingsmen; The Sonics, Barry and the Remains, and of course The Knickerbockers
Here’s what they are saying about Rock Garden Records recording artist Tom Satch Kerans and his new single, “Those Lies”:
"Top Ten Songs 2023 (#6) Boston Tackle Box (David Kasheta)"
“(Kerans) Has a great voice and really good songs”
- Genya Ravan Goldie's Garage
Little Steven’s Underground Garage Sirius.xm
“Boston loves its garage bands. Tom “Satch” Kerans’ influences even go farther back than Shiverlane. Tom name checks the Kingsmen, the Sonics and the Knickerbockers. We get those early/mid-sixties vibes for sure, especially the Knickerbockers. That was the music we grew up with and we can almost hear this coming out of the transistor in 1964. We have it on our Top Ten Songs. Sounds like 1963 in 2023”
-Boston Groupie News
“ A catchy slice of early 80s-like Rolling Stones which is a very pleasant experience and one more people should share in. “
-Brian Bordello

“Those Lies” by Tom Satch Kerans- It Ain’t No Lie!
lyrics
THOSE LIES
You blink your eyes 55 times when you lie
It’s a dead give away
Give away, give away, a dead give way
You better hear what I say
you're gonna rue, you’re gonna rue
The day
Chorus
With those lies, those lies that you lie about
You even lie about your lies
With those lies (repeat)
Verse 2
You turn your head
You change the subject
I got your moves all down
You do your best to redirect me
Try to turn it upside down
Its all clear
Its all clear to me now
Chorus 2
BRIDGE
I know your momma she taught you well
I know your daddy was a truthful man
But you now I can’t seem to figure
I don’t think I’ll ever, ever, ever understand it
SOLO
I can’t believe a word you say now (say now ) repeat)
Those Lies 4 times

This track is dedicated to Lenny Dunn 1957-2023 A Catalina For Life
"Years after settling into an entirely different identity and new set of priorities - Kerans reemerges with some of the best
songs he's ever written. At the collection's core Is a clutch of sturdy melodies and classic pop structures...kerans gets better and surer with age".
Infectious power-pop that sidesteps the subgenre's obvious tropes with literary abstraction - an emotional sucker punch. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 14, 2016
Cara Beth Satalino's delicately melodic yet resilient indie folk songs sparkle with lyrical wit and hard-won wisdom. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 10, 2024
