Philadelphia quartet, Fairfax Road Show are another example of a Listening To This Week submission making us dig further and finding the debut EP. These 4 songs are a great listen. Obviously American, great Pop Rock with a hint of Americana.
The song submitted was the title track and it is a jaunty cracker of a sound with a real twang to the solo. Keep On Walking is a little more like Classic Rock storytelling that hits a groove in a slight Southern Rock way, the Guitar Riff is a killer. as is the solo.
Flowers For The Girl has greater pace and isn't a million miles away from Del Amitri. A Power Pop rhythm track and a chiming riff that beds itself into your head. Beautifully arranged and performed and another positive on a fine EP.
Hey Christine is more 80s AOR sounding, the keys are far more prominent, but that guitar sound again shines through. There is a Doolin' Dalton feel to the solo. The whole EP is a cracking listen, laidback, catchy songs and arrangements, yet you can tell this lot can play.
You can listen to and buy the EP here. It is available on CD and as a download.
