Damn, I really want to like this Kentucky-based outfit. “It’s Fun To Do Bad Things” is not only the name of their debut full-length, it also seems to be the band motto. Listening to an album’s worth of bluesy 60s rock should be a treat, especially if – like me – you are a fan of The Hives, The White Stripes, The Kinks and every other The band that likes to rock.
So what exactly is wrong with this? Because it all sounds pretty good so far…. Well, listen to the first song and it’s already there. “Give Me” starts off as a great track but then quickly turns into the line ‘give me someone to love’ being sung over and over again. It’s simply dragged out too long. If they cut out all the repetitious shouting of lyrics and kept the songs to a maximum of two minutes, this album would score a lot better.
Score: 6 out of 10
