SOMETIMES X |
| by
Jonathan Mariante This trio, consisting
of singer/guitarist Tommy Redd, bassist Monty Conner, and drummer Mickey
Wade play straight up rock and roll with a variety of influences, from
The Beatles to Aerosmith to Offspring. Their style combines elements
of classic and modern style rock, and has a pop flavor throughout the
album. The band plays well, and Tommy can really jam on the guitar.
He is heavily influenced by Aerosmith's Joe Perry, and the Aerosmith
influence also shines through on the songs "Step Down", "Color Me Gone",
and "What I Like", all 'Smith style, thrusting hard rock tunes. On the
other songs, opener "Guilty" sounds like the punk/pop sounds of Offspring
meeting a classic hard rock style, "Take" is a folksy number with some
Beatles influence, and "Shoebox" and "Touched" are middle of the road
songs, the former with a little bit of Black Sabbath mixed in. These
guys are a fairly good band who can rock out when the want to. If all
goes well, Sometimes X should be able to mark their spot in the world
of rock and roll. http://www.sometimesx.com
