Boston-based garage-punk band led by Jeff "Monoman" Conolly. Formed from the same scene that included DMZ, Lyres became known for Farfisa organ-driven arrangements, 1960s covers and original songs, and a raw live energy.

Led by Jeff "Monoman" Conolly (formerly of DMZ). Key albums include On Fyre (1984) and Lyres Lyres (1986). Associated labels mentioned in reviews: Ace Of Hearts (US) and New Rose (France). Signature elements cited in reviews: Farfisa organ, fuzz guitar, 60s-influenced covers and original garage-punk songs. Reviews note the band remained active at least through the 2010s.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Lyres' Farfisa-driven garage-punk revival, singling out On Fyre (1984) and Lyres Lyres (1986). Jeff "Monoman" Conolly's leadership and the band's 60s-rooted covers and originals are highlighted. Reviews celebrate their live energy and fidelity to classic rock sounds.

For:Fans of 1960s-influenced garage rock, garage-punk revivalists, collectors of 80s indie rock

 Jeff "Monoman" Connolly's dream has always been to die on stage from an electric shock from his Farfisa, like an old soldier on the battlefield, because they are people whowouldn't know how to adapt to a normal life.

 In my opinion, the Lyres were certainly among the best representatives of the genre
