PRESS
D.C.-area rockers Steve Bowes and Phil Rossi have a well-earned reputation as hard charging, no nonsense throwbacks to an era before image consultants satisfied gullible consumers with third generation new wave bands in matching suits. "Pan Into the Greyscale" shows that the Pharmacy Prophets walk the walk. From the opening chords of the title track through the final suggestive invitation of sultry closer "All Night," the band demonstrate their appreciation for intricate guitar interplay and a tight-knit rhythm section. Drummer Ben Mellott and bassist Rossi drive this set and the guitar tandem of Bowes and Trey Ponish ably utilize the strong foundation. The purchase price for Greyscale is justified by the guitar lead that ends "Mansion on the Hill" alone.
