Jimmy and Jeff Kastelic (guitars and keys), Bobby Lind(bass) and Gabe Taylor (drums) are The All Nighters, punk by image and punk by excitement and enthusiasm but not in the music which is very bright and refreshing today instrumental sound. Opener (with great siren!) is a corker, uptempo, rocking and melodic while "Swingers Club" is almost rockabilly. "Cruisin' & Rockin" has that Ventures twang with a country rock guitar sound. Great rhythm section by the way, rhythm and bass are rock solid as are the driving drums behind from Gabe. I've been racking my brain cell (?) to think who these guys remind me of and the answer is Canada's Falcons but maybe a tadge wilder. This is a very inspiring original album (all 13 cuts are band compositions) and its not the run of the mill '60's sound or the aggressive thrash of some of today's bands. The All Nighters balance the excitement with a high dose of memorable melody in the songs. Like any new music, you'll need to give it a few plays since the boys have dared to be different (like the frenetic "Showdown" - Russian vodka with more attitude!) And I tell you something, they've succeeded. Great set and listening to it in January, what a start for 2007! **** (4 stars) (Davy)
