Challenge Club - A Briefe Description Of The Notorious Life

Our kind `o indie rock `n pop! In the vein of The M`s, OKGo, They Might Be Giants. It`s a relentlessly melodic, indie-pop style, record filled with eclectic instrumental touches and hopelessly clever songwriting. In a woozy dreamscape of quirky compositions, Challenge Club emerge as proud purveyors of exotically cool indie pop. They perform crisp, cerebral pop that explodes with energy and ideas with the final result being a sonically pungent synthesis of belligerently overactive and intensely tuneful on this oddly and perversely satisfying record. Yeah!

"(an) unpretentious take on trad indie-rock maneuvers...refreshing. The groups speedy moments are its most effective. When the tempos stay in that slalom rangevocalist jumping toward the mic for the chorus, melody leaping up an octave, everyone hammering a little harder on that chordChallenge Club provides a comfort-food punch specific to its chosen genre. Plus, its mastered traditionalist indie rocks secret weaponthe breakdownwhen the drums and maybe a pinging guitar or wheedling keyboard rev triumphantly back up for the final chorus. The last two songs, Columbus and Firearms, are more considered, with multipart structures and some glockenspiel action, and are the best stuff on the disc."-CityPaper. Blazingly fresh and still catchy all the way! Very Highly Recommended!
