| The Great Socio - Find The Time |
Despite the name, The Great Socio
is not a circus ring master but is, in fact, a groove laden rock band from the
mighty Philadelphia - birth home of the Fresh Prince and cheese steaks. That
said, there is something of the circus performer about the Red Hot Chili
Peppers meets System Of A Down rock of opening track 'The World's Alive' which
has some of the cheapest sounding keyboards I have heard in a long time but
still rocks. Next up is 'Criminals', a track possibly still trapped in the 90s
post grunge but pre-nu metal era but with a healthy slathering of 70s groove
rock organs just to fill in any cracks. 'Let Go' harks back to RHCP again but
with more horns while 'Paradise' is early Incubus doing a Doors song for a Bond
film - if you can possibly imagine that. The snarling, growling bass line of
'Anything Everything' battles with the organ of Matt Montgomery to create
wonderful whirlpool of rock'n'roll before this short album finishes up with
'Vultures', a song full of atmospheric horns and dramatic vocal delivery. If
you like your rock with a heavy groove, big organs and the occasional spurt of
rapped vocals then these guys will be right up your street. And if you don't
like all that then give them a listen anyway as they seem to have had a lot of
fun making their music, which is nice.
