THIS WILL BE OUR YEARS kicks off this CD with an intro that will remind you of The Beatles, "Eleanor Rigby '' and then will burst into a superb rock song with an epic melody and great lyrics.This song will surely grow on you.
PRINCESS NEEDY has a feel of the Cowsills, and The Osmond Brothers that will make you think of the amazing songs they made together. The band even added disco in this song. WOW! Check it out. LOVE BURN reminds of a song that the band, Missing Persons, would be doing. The band is super tight on each note that they play. I love them.
BOX OF LETTERS is another superb rock song that has a great pop feel and the melody and lyrics are a standout from the very first note. I like the bit of The Tubes sound in the song. Sweet.
YOU COMPLETE ME is a bit laid back song with a Beach Boys feel with their popish melody and lyrics. The harmonies are superb in the song and that stands alone by itself.Great song. HEY GRANDMA is the Moby Grape song which they do a great version of from the very first note. The guitar licks are right in the spot and it is one of the best ever renditions of the song I ever heard.
I'd like to know, what can't this band play? This is one of the most impressive bands I have heard in a long time. I'd like THANK BIG STIR RECORDS for always being in touch with me. Thank you REX & CHRISTINA. You can find the band at: Big Stir Records, Spotify, You tube and iHeartRadio. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE]
