Rowdy, savage wit on a stick. I'm still listening to it.

"Yeah sure whatever..." is rowdy, savage wit on a stick.
A dark blend of rock and roll and Jersey attitude potent enough to snap the spine of Bruce Springstein (when he still made albums blue collar workers didn't picket) If I was a stalker these guys would need several restraining orders and lots of duck tape.

A good CD featuring excellent songwriting
author: Joe Malone
The best thing about the very good Splat CD is the songwriting (which I find very adept). Whether penning ballads, 3 minute or under rock songs, or longer tracks featuring choirs and horns, the songwriting is tight. Great melodies! I know this because every time I play the CD (which I recently purchased on a whim) I find myself humming one of the tracks for the next couple hours. If I had to say, "Weeble" is my favorite track, although lately I've been getting into "Somersault". The writing, while not as strong as the musical vibe, fits most the songs nicely. Another stand-out with SPLAT is the lead guitar which has a Mark Knoppfler (of Dire Straits for all you kiddies!) quality...a kind of funky, quirky blues style. Is there any way to get on their mailing list? Keep on rocking in the free world!

Impressed by the range of musical styles!

I really enjoyed Splat's "yeah, sure, whatever". The songs are catchy, and each has its own distinctive style. Rockers, ballads, funk, blues, and many other styles are mixed and matched to create the album's sound.
