Victor Bravo - Shut Out The Sky
  -- Friday, March 23, 2007


Here we have some "happy to be pissed off punk rockers." I'm not sure I can even translate that. Happy to be pissed off? And punk rockers? This group seems more like happy-go-lucky 30 somethings playing bar rock. I wouldn't call it punk or even post punk. It feels like this trio is trying to grab onto the indie pop trend but has fallen short.

Musically, this album isn't lacking. I wouldn't say they are doing anything groundbreaking with their instruments, but their sound is very respectable. Again, it's a mix of bar rock with indie pop. But when you throw in the vocals & lyrics, and it all goes out the window. The vocals really drive into my skull. I found myself having to remove the cd from my car stereo in fear of road raging on my fellow drivers. "Going on a binge??" C'mon. Really? C'mon.

If this sounds up your alley, feel free to pop over to their website. You can pick up this 4 song EP for $6 (+ shipping) through paypal. You can also head over to their Myspace page and listen to the tracks for yourself. It's up to you.

Final note. Check the pic below.


Credited as CBGB's Downstairs Lounge 16 Sep 2006

CBGB's downstairs lounge? Cringe ... This is essentially the same venue that The Cro-Mags regularly killed it on. Same goes for Youth Of Today, Bold and Judge. Hell, even Bruce Springsteen killed it here. Luckily this shot wasn't from the main stage. That would just be too sacrilegious.
