Brendan unrestrained…
Brendan’s flying solo on this one since I haven’t heard it. I usually download everything I pass his way so I can chime in with my comments. Unfortunately, I must have missed this one, so you’re just gonna have to trust him…
1090 Club, Shipwrecked on Shores (Side-Cho) — SOS is the debut from the four-piece rock ensemble 1090 Club from Billings, Montana. I use the term “ensemble” instead of “band” quite intentionally. At first listen, this album doesn’t sound like it was made by a rock band. It is meticulously orchestrated between violin, guitar and piano. The parts flow fluidly between one another and are locked into time and place by extremely technical and spot-on drumming. When you add 3-and 4-part vocal harmonies, it only gains strength and momentum. The culmination is a wonderful rock album with catchy pop riffs that will stay in your head for days. Rating: Yes — Brendan Greene-Walsh.
