Fans of late 80's/early 90's alternative music will love the Sheila Divine. This six song EP embraces the sounds of that era, while vocalist Aaron Perrino has a tone that is part Ian McCulloch and part Morrissey.
Where's my solace? I'm a nervous wreck.
Oh, where's my place in this world?
I feel like a speck.
These lines are from "We All Have Problems", a song about an apparent identity crisis that would not be out of place on the soundtrack to the movie Pump Up the Volume. "Back to the Cradle", a rocker, may be questioning the story of Christ, telling us "I'd rather have a fable..." "The Swan", "Black River", and "Dramatica" make it evident that someone here is an Echo & the Bunnymen fan, while "Calling All Lovers" could be the best song The Smiths never performed.
If this EP is any indication, I eagerly await the full length project from The Sheila Divine.
