5.0 out of 5 stars Debut CD Is Power Pop Rock & Roll, May 6, 2006

By 

Mr. Mike "Rock On!" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crashbox (Audio CD)

I heard about this band a while ago and had the opportunity to see them perform in NYC. I was impressed by the songs and looked forward to thier CD. I was not disappointed. The CD is loaded with well-crafted pop tunes, as well as more straight forward rock. Stand out tracks include Drown as well as Prom Queen, Life of the Party and Saturday. Many influences can be heard (Elvis Costello, Cheap Trick, The Beatles, Oasis, Green Day, etc), yet this band has a unique sound. Songs seem very familiar yet they are brand new. Over all I would say this a very good debut that I would recommend to anyone who likes good rock & roll or pop-rock & roll.

2.0 out of 5 stars stage one of a long road of development, February 14, 2007

The Good

"Radio" has a catchy chorus and memorable chord progression. "Drown" is an emotionally charged ballad with a decent chorus section. "Any Place but Here" has one of those sing-along sections that are sure to come back to you throughout the day. The heaviest riffs are delivered on "This Girl," and it's probably the most melodic track as well.

The Bad

Vocalist Sal Scoca just doesn't have it. In the immortal words on the American Idol judges, he's just too "pitchy." The music is somewhat generic as well.

The Verdict

Core Records pride itself on producing bands the old fashioned way; molding and developing them over a number of years. With Crashbox's latest disc, it's obvious the band is at stage one of a long road of development.
