5.0 out of 5 stars
Cool stuff,
By alexander laurence (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Golden Republic (Audio CD)
The Golden Republic are a rock band from Kansas City. They are representing the new "KC Sound" and bringing it to the people. The Beatles and David Bowie influence them. The songs are truly great. They have a big fanbase in the Midwest. "She's So Cold," sounds like glam rock, as "I'll Do Anything" sounds a little like Brian Jonestown Massacre. Peter Katis has produced this. Katis has worked with Interpol and Mercury Rev. There are a bunch of rock and new wave influences on this record. The phrasing of "Robots" reminds me of a song by Ambulance ltd. The Golden Republic are a cool band, like The Killers, who have grown up with a lot of good records, but they are not from New York City. They probably had more time to work on their songs. For me, half of the deal depends on the live show. A bad record could be overlooked if the band can still shine onstage. Sometimes cool records in the studio can't be worked out properly onstage. There is no dynamic, no talent, and no performance. Hopefully we can all see The Golden Republic and judge for ourselves.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Golden Republic (Audio CD)
Being from KC, I have had demos by The People (now The Golden Republic) for quite a while now, as well as earlier versions of songs now on this album. I have to say they've refined and expanded really well. I have found myself listening to this CD a lot lately. I really hope some other people hear about this band. I'm really interested in seeing what these talented musicians can do in the future.
