Details:
The Speakeasies, (who, along with drummer Bible, are singer–bassist Kenny Phelps, singer-guitarist Steve Simmons, and guitarist Rick Thompson), have achieved a rare balance with their record. The influence of pop pros like Smith and Achen is certainly felt on the instantly memorable choruses of tracks like “Hope That Lives Today” and “Ocean’s Moving”, but because it was recorded live, with perfect precision paid to capturing the natural sound of the band, the songs all retain a live immediacy and openness. It doesn’t sound like you’re listening to pathetically over–produced radio–rock. And luckily, it doesn’t just sound good, it is good. These are carefully crafted tunes played by seasoned vets who aren’t afraid to pepper their songs with pop, soul, dub, or monstrously heavy riffs.
