Solid Roots Rock with Some Complexity and Great Lyrics

(3 out of 5 stars)

"If you like bands like the now defunct Storyville, The Wallflowers, and Farmer Not So John and you like to sit back on a Saturday night and have a listen to something that won't let you tune out, then you'll like Genghis Angus. The lead vocals are great, the lyrics deserving of your attention and there's always a major chord riff around the corner to get your air guitar wound up. You could call this music alternative roots rock perhaps, I'm not sure and that's a good thing because music that's easy to classify isn't all that interesting to me. I'm still enjoying 12 Days and am looking forward to what this band will do in the next few years. Hopefully they won't follow Storyville to the CD bin marked "great band making good music with a lot of potential that will never be fulfilled". For all you Storyville fans looking for something else to listen to, try these guys."
