@thedemos "LOVELY" Review

thedemos

I've been around. OK, let me rephrase that. I've lived in many places. As each place comes and goes, little bits from those places get added into my life. For me, during my time in Rochester NY it's been The Demos. I have lived in Rochester probably a little less than half my life. I can do without the Winter, the salt and the grey, but I will not under any circumstances live without The Demos! It can be said than I often miss NY, mostly in the Summertime. Nothing compares when the weather turns warm in the North. And here we are again, on the eve of another summer and I'm down in PA missing NY like crazy. Fortunately one of the great bits to land in my ears during my Rochester time was the voice of Jason Milton and the music of The Demos. If you know Rochester and you've heard The Demos music you might not believe both could go hand in hand. These kids may reside under grey gloom and doom for 7 month stretches but somehow they are able to channel what sunshine does fall directly into all their albums. And the new Lovely is no different. It's been a few years since 2008 Your Girl Has Fun Without You EP and even longer since 2007 Alone With You EP but the combination to the musical and lyrical vault is still the same. This go'round we hear maturity. A more grown-up sound if you will. Now don't get me wrong, when folks say "its more grown-up" that usually means all those hooks of wreckless youth have been abandoned. Not true on Lovely. This ain't your 33 year old brothers Sugar Ray! Lovely has more hooks than a friggin meat locker! To clarify, the term grown-up implies a more comfortable, seated sound. The pogo sticks have been stowed, the champagne is not being shaken and blown all over the room, yet at the same time the party is still a party. And up until yesterday my party had been rockin 3 and 4 year old Demos. But now that Lovely is here, the party will continue on for another 4. And if there's any justice in this world The Demos will spread their kind of party the world over! For the time being my god damm Taylor Swift addiction has been broken! Thanks guys for breaking me of that nasty little habit. I swear the government is putting mind control in that shit! But maybe I'm just a sucker for sweet sweet melody. Which explains my enjoyment of Lovely. Please guys, keep making music! Now go see for yourself! Listen to Lovely for free on their Bandcamp site right friggin now!
