This band sounds so much like late 60's early 70's Beach Boys, it's ridiculous. The two songs on Myspace doesn't even do the whole thing justice. Anyway, it's really great

AS I'VE SAID BEFORE,

these guys do have some gems. the rest is squarely sitting in knock-off territory but at least they stole brian wilson's playbook and not thom yorke's or some other tool.

i'd guess i'd be all over this if i liked the beach boys but i don't.

and that sax wailing behind the vocals on do you love me is yacht rock.

They just put this out:

Seems they've now channeling the ghosts of The Grass Roots, Tommy Shondell, and Gary Puckett.

Its not as horrible as it sounds, and if you have a liking of any of those bands/era, you'd probably kinda dig it.

At first I thought you meant the album and couldn't figure out how that would be possible.

Yeah, it was late when I posted that. It is pretty fractured. The album leans fairly heavily on the influences of 60s and early 70s radio hits. I was trying to say that just because the album wears its influences on it's sleeves, doesn't make it immediately deplorable.
