The Mustard Seeds
Untitled release
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This creative band, who were featured on the HM Sampler CD with issue #67, have returned with another quality release that relies on solid playing, hook-filled songs, and great harmonies. Fans of PFR will instantly grab onto songs like "Sylvia Beams," with its infectious grooves. Nothing ever really gets metal a la King's X, but there's some obvious influences from there as well. Cudos to Rugged Cross Connections for picking up indie projects like this. To order, send $15 to: RCC, c/o Matthew Hunt, PO Box 250, Keokuk IA 52632
