The Peaces - Is/AreWas/Were

MAJOR FIND for Not Lame folks! No way around it, this is about a big, big winner! Fans of The Rubinoos will be in 7th Heaven, but The Peaces play a style of gently jangled power pop that leaves the knees weak. "Don`t Take It For Granted", which you should sample below, is a perfect introduction to the sounds of The Peaces. You dig this one, well rest comfortably in the fact you have more coming in the 13 songs that follow this one. Leader Brian Halverson is a major find for fans of pure pop craftmanship. Fans of Cloud Eleven, The Rubinoos, The Merrymakers, Beagle, David Grahame, Raspberries, Wondermints, Left Banke and on and on with all kinds of reminders of bands most of us live for. Simply, The Peaces are a band to seriously get hugely excited about.

It`s feel good, happy vibes all the way, but it`s not a geek-fest. " Is/Are Was/Were " is wetly dripping w/ classic clean Beatle memories, pristine production values, lots and lots of ringing and chiming guitars that hit the spot at every turn and, of course, massive hooks and sophisticated craftsmanship. The Hallmarks Are All Here. The album never falls into the trap of being too limp as many bands from this part of the world can and have stumbled into, the melodies are always engaging and bright, the vocals transport smoothly and easily into the listeners` eardrums and jangle fans. Grade: "A+", it`s Mission Critical for a power pop fan.
