Additional articles on New Sincerity bands, and/or additions to Music of Austin:

New sincerity (music) (not to be confused with possibly farcical philosophic movement)

Jesse Sublett / The Skunks

Making the rounds led to familiarity among scenesters. Valentine remembers the first time she saw Jesse Sublett and Eddie Munoz at Austin's premier rock & roll club of the day, Mother Earth. "They looked like they were in the Faces. They looked like full-on rock stars, playing in Jellyroll. Their haircuts were perfect, their clothes were perfect, they were rock-star handsome."

http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid:444388

Kristin Gorski, Almost Famous The Austin Texas Soundtrack Circa 1985, Annabelle Magazine, No. 12, 2006.

"The so-called New Sincerity was the perfect prototype of a scene because it was short-lived and over-hyped," wrote Michael Corcoran in the Dallas Morning News. "The original Continental closed, the major labels chewed up and spat out the city's best two bands (True Believers and the Reivers) and all the fans graduated from UT and either moved away or formed bands that might be part of the next big scene."

http://www.nodepression.net/blogs/peter/2008/01/_is_it_worth_the_admission.html (Peter Blackstock):

[The Reivers] were at the forefront of a swarm of Austin bands that were caustically dubbed "The New Sincerity" by musician/author Jesse Sublett, and while that comment was perhaps understandable given Sublett's perspective as a veteran of the city's previous punk/new-wave onslaught, it also rang with a bit of resonance. While the bands themselves (Zeitgeist, Wild Seeds, True Believers, Glass Eye, Doctors' Mob, etc.) would never have declared themselves to be "newly sincere," they emerged in an era when the likes of Michael Jackson and Quiet Riot were topping the charts. By comparison, they were a real breath of fresh air, particularly for anyone who was just beginning to dig beneath the surface, as I was back then.

Doctor's Mob: Last One in the Van Drives (compilation album 1999, now out of print)
Kent H. Benjamin, "Why Should Anyone Care Now?", Weekly Wire (Austin Chronicle?), August 30, 1999 All Music Guide:

Biography by Craig Harris For a brief moment in the mid-'80s, a style of music dubbed "new sincerity" seemed to be the next big thing. Originating from Austin, TX, the sound of such bands as Glass Eye, the Reivers, True Believers, the Wild Seeds, and Texas Instruments reflected a new post-punk and new wave attitude. According to Steve Collier, vocalist and principal songwriter of Doctor's Mob, one of the most-promising of the "new sincerity" groups, "The whole idea of the band was to have these really melodic songs that you played really heavy."

Formed in the early '80s, Doctor's Mob took its name from an article about the first American riot, "Doctor's Mob of 1728," that the band found in an old Almanac. The group was beset by internal problems from the outset. The final four performances of their tour supporting their debut album, Headache Machine, in 1985, were canceled when founding bass player Jimmy Doluisio resigned following a gig. Replacing Doluisio with bass player Tim Swingle, Doctor's Mob signed with the Relativity label and recorded its second album, Sophomore Slump, with Ramones producer Tommy Erdelyi. The album's title proved to be appropriate when the label forced the band to re-record the album, delaying its release date for several months. When Sophomore Slump was finally released in 1987, Doctor's Mob was unable to recapture its early momentum. Although they mounted two tours in support of the album, they disbanded. Drummer Glenn Benavides went on to play with Buick MacKane, Collier joined the Sidehackers, and guitarist/vocalist Don Lamb became manager of Waterloo Records.

The members of Doctor's Mob reunited to celebrate the release of Last One in the Van Drives, combining tracks from their two albums, in 1999.

New Sincerity in Nancy Drew (2007 film)[edit]

  • "Emma Roberts, who has something of her aunt Julia's guilelessness, plays her as a good-hearted innocent. Even her dress sense gets a thumbs-up as Nancy unconsciously kicks off the next big thing: the "New Sincerity." (As if!)" Tom Charity,"Review: 'Nancy Drew' true but slight", CNN.com, June 15, 2007.
  • http://www.northcoastjournal.com/issues/2007/06/21/mighty-almighty/
  • "At the coda of the film, two of Nancy’s former rivals come barreling into her room, giggling. Nancy has become a fashion plate, her retro-style shown in a teen magazine under the headline “The New Sincerity.” It has to be an ironic joke. Nancy Drew has never been sincere. The franchise has always been tainted by its own pandering to American prejudices, and redeemed by a completely dishonest notion: a girl can outrun, outfight, and outthink the male adult world, and be adored for it. It’s a lie I still rely on, and Nancy Drew’s still the only heroine teaching it." http://www.brooklynrail.org/2007/07/film/the-old-insincerity
  • "Unavoidably arch but essentially playful in its wit, Nancy Drew neither wears out its welcome nor compromises its heroine. Nancy is unstoppable. By the movie's end, her trademark penny loafers and Sandra Dee outfits have been officially pronounced fashionable, "the new sincerity." That's pretty much the idea of this 12-year-old superheroine, quotation marks and all." J. Hoberman, "The Mystery of the Tween Demographic", Village Voice, June 5, 2007.
  • "The best thing about "The New Sincerity," as they call it in the movie, is that it speaks to what is going on in fashion right now. Just as Nancy happily stands apart from the trend-addled crowd, teens today are shedding the buy-more attitude in favor of a more comfortable, simplified and authentic looks. And, as Nancy proves in the movie, being real to who you are is what being real is all about." "A clue to style: Nancy Drew and the new sincerity", WLS-TV, June 01, 2007
  • "At one point in the film a Southern California real estate agent appraises Nancy’s penny-loafer-and-knee-socks look and says, “With a little tweaking, you could be adorable.” Later a semi-reformed Mean Girl from Nancy’s school notes that Nancy’s retro appearance has become a fashion sensation called “the new sincerity.” As far as I’m concerned, the old sincerity worked just fine, and too much tweaking has been done with the intention of bringing the girl sleuth up to date." A.O. Scott, "Junior Sleuth Finds Her Way to the Screen, With Knee-Socks Pulled Up High", New York Times, June 15, 2007.
