The Mediocre Friends - So This Is It? EP (Free Download)

 



This is a wonderful track EP and seldom has there been such consistency, bearing in mind that each song was written by each of the four band members. The only negative is that I just wish there had been more because this EP in style, sound and performance is right up Melody Street.

Four lifelong friends light up New Jersey with the slightly rocked up Power Pop that we know and love. Gay Elvis is well known to us, particularly for his time in Readymade Breakup and he takes the vocals for all four songs.



His song is That'll Be Me and that is the most restrained here, a top notch catch all affair with hints of AOR and Pop Rock. Mike Eckhart's Adore opens up proceedings with Adore, a much more 90s Indie blast delivered at pace and underlining his Guitar work, all riffs and hooks.

Chris Dickscheid's This Old House is the most straight ahead, a wonderful confection built around two mesmerising riffs, a song that borders on Melodic Rock. Bill Cederroth has a much more and at 'em song. It heads towards a more classic rock, a real let loose vibe that reveals even more depth from the quartet. Here's hoping there is a future with more from them.
