Daily Southtown, November 5, 1993

"...contrast of bright music and twisted subject matter, wrapped up in tight, hook-filled packages..."

Product Description

The aptly titled debut album from The Wombats, "Everything up to now...," is a compilation of material recorded over the course of the past five years. The songs bristle with catchy melodies, upbeat tempos, killer three-part harmonies and clever, insightful lyrics. Each song reads like a short story about life, love, loss, expectations and disappointment; written with just the right amount of sarcasm and tongue–in-cheekness to keep you smiling. There is a consistency to the songwriting, yet each track possesses its' own distinct Wombat flavor. This is a true rock & roll album with an emphasis on "the song"- with universal appeal for a large segment of music buyers. After one listen, you'll realize that the music stems from the classic-60's school of rock funneled through one man's vision as a present day songwriter. THIS IS NO RETRO-REHASH ALBUM – this is modern rock & roll with great pop sensibilities!

This is a decent album, I really enjoyed it. A pleasant mistake seeing as I bought it thinking it was an earlier album from Brit Rock Band The Wombats, alas no, these guys are from the States, but still worth a shot.
