We don't often review 3 Track EPs, but this is the great American Classic Power Pop that we know and love/ Plus the faint connection to Mott The Hoople sucks us in with trio naming themselves after our beloved Overend sealing things.
Paul Crane of Bastards Of Melody fame has fashioned up great examples of the genre. All the pre-requisites are here. Big riffs, great choruses and melody explode out and I'm sure the DJs will be after individual songs for their Internet Radio shows.
Halfway House is the most straight ahead with its killer riff and its ace solo which includes a twang. Wondering is all Jangle, a little more laid back, but still adds a crackerjack of a solo. Dypsomaniak feels much more Not Lame 90s.
The song adds synth from Chris Bolger and the solo even gets a little Thin Lizzy and rounds off a fine EP. This is the sort of thing that I heard often, but much less these days. Hopefully, we might get an album in future because is the sort of joyous Power Pop that deserves to be heard.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
