Red West
Reviewed 2010-03-09
Decent rock out of the UK, a little punky (in the old Sex Pistols “sounds like rock to us now” way). M. vocals, I like that the lyrics seem to have no axe to grind, and that the music isn’t gimmicky.

1. Midtempo. Mentions lots of locales, sort of a world travelogue.
+2. Simple and effective mid-fast
3.mid-slow story-song. reminiscent of Robyn Hitchcock
4.a little white stripes and billy childish
+5.melodic, poppy
6.mid-slow lonely love song
+7.Interesting time signature & tempo changes in this instrumental
+8.mid-slow, weird wah, wrong and empty torch song.
+9.mid-fast, fun guitar solo at middle
+10.Minor key, mid-fast downer. FCC:”bullshit” (see lyric sheet). Sax solo at end!
