| Band: Tracy Films Location: Delaware, Ohio Album: Octopus Hives (LP) Genre: Indie / Progressive Rock Track Picks: "Space Hardware," "Harmonica," "Come Around," "Downie," "Risk" Lowdown: This four member band of youthful energy that produced sounds of 70s chill music with bursts of solid punk have retired. To preserve and remember their local legacy with a generally younger fan base, this 13-song collection was released. Think Sonic Youth, CSN&Y, The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. A combo of Caeleigh Featherstone's innocent Karate Coyote-like vocals and Drew Lloyd's Nirvana/Brad Robert's (Crash Test Dummies) style blend well with the backing of an aggressive, sometimes simple, blues explosion. Catchy bass riffs and guitar solo breakdowns with a strong drum beat provide collective stability. Some of the lyrics portray those of rebellious punk while other lines reflect dreamy, astronomical, metaphorical adventures. A worthy purchase to preserve a piece of past local young talent. http://www.myspace.com/tracyfilmsnew http://www.myspace.com/tracysfilms |
