Sounds Like: Now this is some good music. Sophisticated, varied bluesy rock. Brother Shamus’ recent release “Manifest,†the Arlington group’s first full-length effort, is foot-tapping funky and lyrically strong. The title track starts slowly, then picks up, and you realize this band means business. The song “State†is more funky (“forget the sweet sunshine/if you’re impatient for a taste of the underground,†sings Todd Miller). The upbeat “Josephine†has more of a groove (“killing time is killing meâ€), and “Reverends and Spartans†is a beautiful, smoky ballad. The saxophone kicking off “Hypnotic Moon†is killer, and the musicianship is crisp throughout. This is good chillin’ music, good cruisn’ music and no doubt solid live. Definitely worth a pick up.-OnTap Magazine (Dec. 2006)
