ON THE TELEPHONE [I USED TO CALL YOU] kicks off this album with a taste of The Knack with it super cool rhythm and fast paced beat. The song is as strong as ever as the band supercool. Get ready for a ride. WORKING CLASS STIFF reminds me bit of The Producers as the melody seems as if you heard it before. The song is still a treat to listen to.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT has a different favor which is nice to hear. This song has a pop punk feel which is rather cool. Check this one out.THE KIDS ARE ALL HIGH is super great which has great lyrics and a great beat to go with it. I love this, because the band out done themselves on this song. The guitar riff is super sweet too.
I GET BORED reminds me a bit of The Romantics with their sound on this one, as the guitar strums are raw and clear. ON MY OWN brings this album to an end with all together a different sound from the band.Gavin sings his heart out to you. Be on the look out for this band they are 'hot'. I want to THANK GAVIN BOWLES for being in touch. You can find the band at: Bandcamp. Facebook, You tube, gavinbowlesmusic.com, Pandora, Deezer and other sites.
