15 songs is alot to digest in a week..but it was very enjoyable,,Where to begin? Yeah there are moments where you think White Stripes, a sec and a half of No doubt,shades of B52s.Those thoughts don't last though.Shawn and Tracy have something ALL their own, The music is at first simple yet clever,then as it sinks in and I was able to look at a title and KNOW the song,I realised two things.
1) There are more HOOKS on this album than Col.Henry Blakes hat(AND jacket).
2)Whatever song you choose, the Apex of these guys are when they are BOTH singing.
Future hits will be, Killer in the Back Seat,Cult of the Moon God,From Underground,Gone Streaking,No Coin,World of Sin...Fire's Tears is something special to me as it shows an optimism and style that will carry over to future records(hopefully).Don't get me wrong,ALL the songs are good. (I just picked 7 hits)
This band will be signed this weekend. If not I'll personally make sure they are real soon.
The most infectious,cool, riff laden record of the yr.
The ONLY thing Vulgarrity needs is a touring drummer and a major label..They need nobody to write songs.. oh...and a cool roadie. (wink)
