The Rubinoos: The Rubinoos
Vivien Goldman, Sounds, 9 July 1977
THE RUBINOOS sing a song all about how rock & roll is dead. It shouldn't really worry them either way, because in Rubinoo-land everyone's a bubble-gum addict. Soar and away the finest track is the "hit single", 'I Think We're Alone Now', a re-cut of a Tommy James & The Shondells, track.
