Permanent Green Light - a stepping stone for Michael Quercio

"After Michael Quercio's band the Three O'Clock lost their musical focus and faded into obscurity, he formed Permanent Green Light to return to his tougher, guitar-based psychedelic rock roots. This self-titled ep has a few songs that fans of his style will find worthwhile, but this isn't his best work. Permanent Green Light did, however, allow Quercio to flex his creative muscles a bit again and get back into the 60's rock sound of which he's always been intensely fond; this ultimately led to the terrific debut cd by his current group, the Jupiter Affect (their album "On The Two Ways of Becoming Alice" is his best work since the Three O'Clock's "Arrive Without Travelling"). This ep is fine for hardcore fans, but certainly not his best effort to date."
