Carbon
Untitled release
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
These boys surprised me. Their sound isn't a carbon copy, but rather, the name refers to a desired imitation of Christ. "Christmas and Easter" is a clever indictment of those who think that church attendance on holidays will "stamp my ticket for another year's grace." Music is pretty much organic rock, with the occasional 70's guitar tone falling over some semi-acoustic pop. "Stone" is the hard rocker here, nearly hinting at modern metal, complete with an extended guitar lead. For ordering info, write: 1142 Plantation Ct, Jackson MS 39211
