The High 5's

What hell hath Pro Tools wrought? Not to get all Steve Albini on your asses, but there's something to be said for poorly recorded, mistake-laden basement demo tapes.  Of course, demo tapes don't exhist anymore, but local boys The High 5's treat visitors to their Myspace page to some unproduced, rough-hewn tracks. Some of the guitar parts are reminiscent of post "Roadrunner" Modern Lovers albums (all off-key sweetness and folksy jangle) while the drummer nails half of his fills. Singer Patrick Scheu aspires toward some Eddie Vedder-esque, full throated vox-although on the band's brighter moments, he hits something more than dude rock facsimile.
