Hey, you know – why is it so hard to make music like this now days? Everything has to be some kind of abominable combo platter that leaves you emptier and stupider than when you sat down. But there is so much to eat when you just give out the rock and give up the roll, and let it do what it does, and everything is kosher. Nobody gets hurt. Well, a few people get hurt, but that's their own stupidity, just like how anyone can get a driver's license or make a website or start a church. But anyway, Pacifico, these kats are just rockin' and rollin' and even groovin' here and there, and it's like so ire, and they're all smiling and enjoying life and the sun's out and it's Saturday and you're like smiling back and feeling like you've just been given a sincere compliment and maybe even a manly hug with the patting on the back and the chests barely touching, or even a chick hug – WHAT-EVER – and you don't feel like you've just been talked down to or been spoon fed a bunch of drivel for 42 minutes and sure life is hard but there is a time to cry and a time to laugh and all that and sometimes it's just fine to shake your head around and sometimes it's just fine to scream and all that but right now it's time to go to the beach or drive around town or take ol' hotty whatshername out for a soda pop or play NES with the boys, or whatever, you know? But, yeah, Pacifico's music – it's like this kinda smart but not academic and stuffy Beach Boys meets King Roy meets Poison (haha) thing, kinda like what those Blur and Superdrag blokes are doing over there in the United Kingdom, you know? Just rock-rolling and whatnot and whatever. Their CD, produced super-deluxefully by Matt Goldman, is called Still on Hold.
Other coverage for this album
Decapolis 2001Reviewed by Nate BaileyPacifico is from Atlanta, GA and have been around since 1999. Still Holding on was released on Vapid Records. When the first song of this 5 song EP started something sounded strangely familiar. It took me awhile to place it, but Pacifico's "Multiply" sounds a lot like Plankeye's "Someday." The following songs have a feel of Hokus Pick and older Pray for Rain with bits and pieces of Plankeye…The Phantom Tollbooth 2001Reviewed by Michial FarmerThe North Georgia Christian rock scene has produced luminaries as diverse as Luxury, Smalltown Poets and Luti-Kriss. Now, fresh from their hometown of Marietta, come Georgia's next big thing, Pacifico. With production and engineering expertly done by Matt Goldman of Piltdown Man fame, Pacifico's debut record, Still on Hold is a nice blend of mid-90s garage rock and mid-70s glam rock.
