Release Notes:
--------
Saginaw Michigan brought us this fun-loving band for a Saturday night stint at a
local bar. With an inter¡est¡ing name and biog¡ra¡phy, The Banana Convention
crew will not let you down with fun songs filled with a punk atti¡tude. Working
in har¡mony, The Banana Convention gives you some¡thing to look for¡ward to in
your player. They sound a lot like No Doubt, with the excep¡tion that their lead
female vocal¡ist actu¡ally has tal¡ent. I would com¡pare their vocal¡ist to
Fiona Apple, but their music is much faster paced, and fits nicely into a
punk-ska or rock genre. The lyrics range from polit¡i¡cal and soci¡etal
innu¡en¡dos to roman¡tic intrigue. There are many themes The Banana Convention
runs under, and their adver¡tise¡ment claimed the eccen¡tric ôCircus Rock,ö but
I heard no such thing on the CD that I would feel to be circus-like in the
least. This album is def¡i¡nitely worth pick¡ing up and lis¡ten¡ing to, as itÆs
fun and light-hearted, though the lyrics may not be so fluffy as a ska-sounding
gui¡tar riff.
