Gizmo - Buddy System EP

 

The last of the three EPs that I wanted to tell you about is this corker of an EP from Gizmo. The quartet from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island underline how great the Cannucks are at offering up this type of stuff.

Four songs in 8 minutes is very say what you wanna say and get off, but the quality of the songs is right up our street. Generally, there is a real 90s feel of Slacker College Rock, but in such a short period of time, you realise how much potential is in the band.

Prisoner Functionary is great Power Pop, yet Producer And Virtual is very Fountains Of Wayne and a little Weezer. Luanne is great Slacker Guitar Pop with some affecting harmonies and a killer riff. yet Deepest Skin crosses Jangle Pop with something that would have easily fitted on the Not Lame label.

There is loads to like here, great Guitar Pop in fact. I wish that the songs were a little longer and there were more of them. Hopefully, that will come in the future and I will certainly be keeping my eyes peeled intently. Back to albums for IDHAS for the rest of the week.


You can listen to and buy the EP here.
