I just saw Allard perform solo at a small venue in Seattle one night after the band performed a sold-out show. I dug the songs and went out and got their debut CD right away. The band reminds me of Oasis - the tunes are as catchy if not more and the lyrics are way better i.e. no "champagne supernova in the sky"!! I have no doubt that The Village Green will make it big and be heard on the airwaves very soon.

Found this band while listening to pandora radio, glad I did. Neat album good to find some newer bands making music that I actually enjoy. If you like this you might also try The Raconteurs, and the Black Keys.

I have recently bought the Village Green EP without having heard it before. I thought a band being inspired by the classic Kinks album must be a good idea and I had high hopes for a unique Kinks-sounding brand of rock & roll. They really don't sound like the Kinks to me and they definitely don't sound like "The Village Green Preservation Society". That isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, and the song, "Get Up, Get Out, Get High" is worth the cost of the EP. It is a fantastic romp that sounds like a classic, immediately. The confusion comes in with a description of the sound. They are described as sounding like Oasis and specefically Liam Gallagher. One of two things may have happened to bring about this description: 1. Either the reviewer had never heard the band Oasis or Liam Gallagher or 2. The reviewer had not really listened to the band the Village Green.
