About Me

Author: Brad at CD Baby
"The driving bassline that kicks off "Or So I Thought," the first track on the debut CD from this Seattle three-piece, is keenly reminiscent of a NW rock sound that many undedicated fans have sadly thrown to the wayside. When the rhythmically wrenching guitar barrels in, mirroring the steady beat of the drums, it becomes crystal clear that this is neither an homage to fond memories or an attempt to drum up some retro appeal. While you can certainly detect the influence of past bands these folks may have a bit in common with (The Gits and 7 Year Bitch come to mind), this is a movement with little to no interest in retreading ground that's already been amply covered. Instead, they've locked in on a sound that's distinct: a collision of three instruments and a vocalist who has a knack for making you the best kind of nervous and uneasy. While she hammers the bass and accentuates some of the semi-abstract rhythms with her words, you might be too enamored to focus on the guitar work, but you'd be wise to take note. Equally adept at powering it out ("Patent Kiss") or getting a bit more groove-specific ("Robert Palmer"), the playing provides a solid complement to the intensity emanating from the other members. There's a raw and inimitable energy that good three-piece rock bands can exude if the members connect on the right level. These three connect."
