HELLO OPERATOR kicks off this album with a song that has a dose of R.E.M. meets THE BEATLES. The hooks are everywhere in this song and they will, definitely, get in your head. So sweet. YOU DON'T KNOW ME seems to have the '60's type of music with a very sweet melody and lyrics. This song reminds me a bit of the early BYRDS.
OUT OF YOUR HAIR has a great guitar intro and a melody that might sound familiar to you. This song reminds me The KINKS meet BIG STAR and that is a pretty cool combination to hear. Check it out. BRAND NEW BOYFRIEND still has the '60's/'70's popish feel from the psychedelic age that just flows along so well. Get out the incense and turn the lights down low and enjoy the party. Cool song.
SPYING BY THE NUMBERS is a very high energy song as they pick up the tempo on this song. I must admit, they have a bit of an early pinkish like feel on this song. Turn it up and enjoy the ride. SHIP TO SHORE brings this album close to the end as the band reminds of THE ASSOCIATION on this song.
The song flows along nice and easy as you can float away with this song.WOW! Is all I can say about this whole album. I'd be surprised if this album doesn't turn "gold'. This is an album for all to, definitely, check out. This album is flawless. I'd like to THANK REX & CHRISTINA for being in touch. You can find the band at: BIG STIR RECORDS, YouTube, Deezer, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Amazon Music and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
