PhonoBrainer Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 From Toronto, perhaps too much posing, definitely talented, seem to be aiming at a Boomer throwback vibe What's the verdict? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the posing "that's me!" B.S. really undermines my impression of them. Would I spend the money on a concert ticket or CD of theirs? No. There's more to talent than just technical proficiency. And I really didn't like the drummer's work or the way the drum audio was mixed (too dry).

Old Joad Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I like it, good bass playing, too much compression on the snare but I like the way the drummer plays. Could do without the mouth organ 🤪 Edited December 19, 2023 by Old Joad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwal³ Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Talented but generic, didn't make me seek out other stuff by them 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 I think the kids are trying! I like the Lifeson-esque guitars, but the Sax solo is underbaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Well, I liked it. All of it. The cheesy "Look at me" went well with the video. Excellent guitar work. And to me the drummer was excellent. Really impressed me with his choice of fills. The first few bars gave me a throwback to the Outfield and of jangly music of that era. Really like her singing. And thought the sax was a great and unexpected contrast to everything else. Enjoyed it. Looking to see if they have more good ones. I am a sucker for a good pop song. And that was one!

Grem Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Yep.. I like 'em. The guitarist has some pretty amazing licks. She sings really well. Will be watching out for this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Ok, fine. If Michael likes them, I guess I'll finally break down and watch it! 🙄 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Well, I watched it and I certainly also don't see some of the objections others have posed (I also never pay much attention to videos unless I can steal a guitar lick or stare at any cute female band members! 😁). The misnaming in the thread title put me off, I thought it was a band trying to be like Rush so I skipped over watching... Anyway, I thought the entire song was well done and I really liked the guitar work and tone. The rest (and the sax solo) sounded appropriate for the song. I don't go to concerts, so I'm more of a "would I listen to this?" guy. I think I would. I will say, it sure beats most of the lifeless pap that's being put out there currently! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
