CD Review: Concord America - "Suns Out Guns Out" (Post-Echo)
Part Weezer, part Black Keys, but all cool would be an
astute way to describe Concord America’s
Suns Out Guns Out EP. Another way to describe this album is, well, just
plain cool. While Suns Out Guns Out on
the whole is an explosion of fuzzed out quirky indie rock – mind the latter -
rock (the monstrous riffs of “Vanilla Bastard” are not to be missed, “Crown
Vic” is sheer garage inspired madness). “So Gay” is the purest of diamonds in
the rough; a hit single lying in wait that could impact at radio tomorrow if
given the chance, and the fun doesn't stop there on Suns Out Guns Out. There’s
also spirited noisefests (“Hippie Trash”) and spunky no frills rock and roll (“Iced
Out”) to be had. This is one of the coolest records that you're not listening
to right now, so let's change that shall we?
