Black Cherry Soda
Back On The Map
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
This is one of the Via Records bands that some thought wouldn't surface again after the death of the label. Well, with a new Bulletproof deal, Black Cherry Soda returns with some nicely repetitive guitar parts and a bunch of catchy songs. Style wise, I'd call this pop- and punk-influenced modern rock. While some of the aforementioned guitars and the down-tuned bass get a little dark, production lacks a bit and the vocals are a little unconvincing. I guess I was expecting a little more grit, but I'll still have to make a cassette copy for the car.
