Opener “Garfield” starts off with a nice acoustic intro before being rudely interrupted by distorted guitars, snotty vocals, bellowing drums and yes, a harmonica. It’s a short track that is immediately followed by “Roses Are For Funerals”, another fast-pounding track. And on it goes…
These Gainesville, FL natives live up to their town’s reputation with a gritty, distorted sound. I’m hearing a mix of influences ranging from Hot Water Music to A Wilhelm Scream and everything in between… but not quite as technical or good as either.
But hey, they’ve only been a band for a year and with “Naked Bingo 5 On The Moon” they’re off to a good start. Sure, the production could be a lot better, the songs could use finetuning and they’re still looking for their own sound but it’s an okay album nonetheless.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
