CD Reviews

Give "King Me" a listen, you won't be sorry!

"So, I went to Croc in Seattle a few weeks expecting to see a "secret" REM show. So did 1000 other people. Although all of the members of REM were wandering around the club, they never actually played a set. Peter Buck got on stage and played a few songs with the opening band, but that was it. A lot of people who came just for REM were bummed. What a waste of the cover charge right?Ordinarily, this would be the case, and I would be one of those people....but one of the opening bands made it all worthwhile.Visqueen came out on stage with a fresh sound you don't hear much these days. They sound a lot like a punkier version of Letters to Cleo, their songs are really lighthearted and upbeat.I was instantly interested, and got up from my table to go into the club and see who was making the interesting music. I was surprised to see only a three piece band on stage.Within 3 songs, I knew I had to buy the CD...and I listened to it the next day at work. Then I listened to it again. And again. Get it, folks. It rocks. If you like Letters to Cleo or the Donnas, you're going to love these guys. It's something a little different than all the rest of the stuff the radio is pushing down your throats right now.That night was the first time I heard them, and it was kind of by accident. I've been enjoying their music ever since. Next time I see them, it will be on purpose. Hopefully it's soon."
Just a blast

"At my age(44) I don't often hit block parties and clubs playing indie music, but these guys totally made me glad I did. Absolute power pop with slashing guitar, husky sexy vocals and sunny lyrics. One of those CDs that you never get tired of listening to...The oft-cited Ramones analogy doesn't do them justice, since the songs aren't all about drugs and death; both their lyrics and song structures are more diverse and less predictable. Visqueen ain't complex or highly produced; I'd call 'em punk with a human face."

"Ingredients:
-1 ex-Fastback (the veteran)
-1 ...-kicking drummer (the ... kicker)
-1 vampish, yet funny, lead singer who plays blistering guitar and has a voice that can melt Smirnoff Ice (The Queen)
Directions:
-Add a pinch of The Runaways, Cheap Trick, Veruca Salt, Foo Fighters and The Ramones
-Stir in popsmart songcraft and generous helpings of brilliant wordplay and a little tongue-in-cheek fun
-Mix with Barrett Jones' (Foo Fighters) energetic production
-Cook at 500 degrees for no longer than 3:20 per song
-Serve with earplugs, generic beer, bubblegum and a supped-up Camaro with flames on the hood
Serves: good pop music for good pop people! All Hail The 'Queen! Easily one of the best rock albums you can spend your $ on this year."
