Croatian powerpop sung in English. Bright, uplifting, three-chord sugar pop anthems, with ahh-ahh backing vocals. The main guy (Vex) really sounds like Tom Verlaine. In fact the guitar sound is pretty reminiscent of Television (albeit far less technical). A bit of a punky feeling to most songs. Includes three covers and two original songs. Play it on a sunny day. Sounds like The Ramones, Television, Buzzcocks.
Picks: 1,2 *** No FCCs ***
*1. midtempo bright sounding cover of 60s hit song by british mod band Small Faces.
*2. very ramones sounding simple three chord song. quite pretty
3. slightly faster, straight up rock and roll
4. midtempo cover of a Romantics song careful bad track cut, ends abruptly
5. part of last song at the beginning. faster pop anthem
