The Shindig
"


Overall a nice effort, of safe mid-tempo blues-country influenced pop music. Each song clocks in at under 4 minutes and is full of nice guitar work and strong rhythm tracks. There are two female singers who look great/sexy on the cover…this band should really get the guys out of the pictures (future promotion ideas)…Their voices have a nice, unique country feel, kind of raspy, like the type of woman who has been done wrong, although they certainly don’t look the part, with the young, sweet neo-hippie/country thang going on. They either fake or imitate the school of hard knock blues voice very well.

The band is at its best when both gals are singing at the same time, like during New Pair of Shoes that has this kind of cool blues vibe to it and breaks out into capable guitar riff…and then back to the hummable chorus. Probably the most memorable track on the record. Again, nothing ground-breaking here, but for fans of commercially viable blues-country with cute women singers, this may be for you
