Man, LOVE finding bands like this. Their greatness-status on the horizon, only clear in the cloudy, hopeful dreams of their youthful ambitions to reach music fans but a lot of hardwork to wrought still on the rock `n roll journey. They remind me of Kings Of Leon back in 2003 but Taylor Locke & The Roughs are more alligned muscically with a more rocking, pop assertive Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. The comparison is apt because this exciting new band is grounded in the classic Rosetta Stone of the last 40 years of rock history. "Grain & Grape" always sounds familiar, warm but never a shallow copy of what launched its ambition. Daily Fresh from your local Rock `n Roll Bakery. There`s no `use-by` date on the best rock & roll. Ten knock out punches over 10 songs. Down on the mat you go, with a smile. Listen to sample #2 below for a taste of Bleu, Jellyfish and Queen pop perfection. Try #5 for a dosing of The Shazam classic rocking pop we all love so or hit #1 below for more "Bellybutton"-era Jellyfish. But this is still a rock `n roll band not a power pop one. This band does not discriminate, they embrace and squeeze all their natural musical passions from the juicer, mixer of rock and pour it out in a glorious pageant and feast of good taste. Go ahead, search. There`s nothing yet on Taylor Locke & The Roughs out there. Yet. You, my fine Not Lamer, attuned to the best of breaking coolness and first at the line of discovery. Climb aboard - start with the tuneage below. I bust my butt loading this up for you every day, its slow, cumbersome, labor-intensive and pretty damn boring but *necessary* empower you with the right tools to make your decisions to rock inside your passion. Loading these samples below, listening to the album as I readied to write this mini-review, I was only filled with excitement to share these tunes with you. You bet your pop loving butt that this one is Extremely Highly Recommended!
