If there's a band with a name that clearly points to its influences, it's the English Language. These San Jose natives love the British Invasion bands - the Who, the Kinks, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Animals - and they're not ashamed of it. Their interest specifically lies with the psychedelic stuff these bands were playing - not quite the totally out-there, late-'60s acid-drenched stuff, but the material they played between their early pop years and their later druggie ones. Think Rubber Soul and Revolver by the Beatles, experimental, but still rooted in rock standards.
