Get the Get-Outs!, July 7, 2005
This review is from: Get The Message (Audio CD)
What a pleasant surprise! The All Music Guide listed these guys as "third generation punks," but to my ears, vocally and melodically, they're a slightly more aggressive Supergrass circa "I Should Coco." Also similarly, the musicianship is very tight. At least 10 of the 13 tracks are absolute "keepers," which these days is a pretty good trick. I often buy something, only to find only one or two tracks are worth repeated plays. This is one of those albums where you don't have to listen to the lyrics (which kind of fly by) to enjoy the tunes pumping out of your stereo. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with next - Hopefully they will remain open to musical growth as the above-mentioned Supergrass did, and just get even better with time, and definitively move past the "punk" tag that I've seen mentioned a few times in various reviews. If you like high energy rock with memorable hooks and choruses, go for it - you won't regret it.
