"Are you ready
to rock? This band would like you to answer that question in the
affirmative, as they straddle the line between power pop and
straight-ahead rock.
Dover's 'Local Girls' opens the disc, with a sound
reminiscent of Skynyrd's 'What's Your Name?' (we hear The
Replacements/Tommy Stinson) crossed with a chorus that recalls lines
from 'Wig Wam Bam,' - an audacious combination that needs to be heard.
Among his other tracks, 'So Far' channels 'Pleased to Meet Me'-era
Replacements, 'Feel Young' and 'Alright Uptight' are raucous rockers,
and 'Iron In The Fire' is high-energy fun. As one might expect from a
guitarist, his songs are heavy on the solos.
Gibson's songs lean more to
the pure power pop side, especially 'Get it Out (Kimmy)' and 'By the
Sea'. 'Funky Junk' brings the Red Hot Chili Peppers to mind, and his
'Melody Rain' starts off in power ballad territory (really, it's a
great title for a power ballad), and turns into a bit of a riff-fest.
Cover chips in with 'Just Wait', which adds a bit of rhythm to the mix,
as well as the punky 'Roll With It'. It's a mix of rock and power pop
styles, but the common denominator is quality musicianship without any
dud tracks involved. These guys have just turned 20 on average, and
they have a bright future ahead of them."
