4.0 out of 5 stars The 70's meets the 90's!, February 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sweet Homewrecker (Audio CD)

"Halifax's bastard sons do it again for the first time." That's the catch-phrase for Thrush Hermit's '97 effort, Sweet Homewrecker, their first major label release. Sweet Homewrecker, recorded in Memphis, Tn. delivers a sound that is one part classic 70's rock and one part 90's Halifax pop which makes it hard to resist. From the single, "North Dakota" to the witty "Heart Wrenching Man", "Skip the Life" and "I'm Sorry That Your Heart Has No More Room", Sweet Homewrecker Rocks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the $$, April 28, 2001

I can highly recommend this album/band for fans of Superchunk, the Replacements or the Mayflies. It is definitely power pop at it's best. I can say that because the lyrics are intelligent, interesting and at times sweet. The singer's voice reminds me of Superchunk. The guitars rock out, very simple, garage, indie rock sound. The production is great, overlaying great guitar parts. I would highly recommend this album.

Canadians know this band well. The rest of the world should know them. Be sure to check out their last release, "Clayton Park." It was in the top 5 of 1999.
