Release Notes:
No way around it, this is about a big, big winner!
Fans of The Rubinoos will be in 7th Heaven, but The
Peaces play a style of gently jangled power pop that
leaves the knees weak. "Don't Take It For Granted",
which you should sample below, is a perfect
introduction to the sounds of The Peaces. You dig
this one, well rest comfortably in the fact you have
more coming in the 13 songs that follow this one.
Leader Brian Halverson is a major find for fans of
pure pop craftmanship. Fans of Cloud Eleven, The
Rubinoos, The Merrymakers, Beagle, David Grahame,
Raspberries, Wondermints, Left Banke and on and on
with all kinds of reminders of bands most of us live
for. Simply, The Peaces are a band to seriously get
hugely excited about.
It's feel good, happy vibes all the way, but it's
not a geek-fest. " Is/Are Was/Were " is wetly
dripping w/ classic clean Beatle memories, pristine
production values, lots and lots of ringing and
chiming guitars that hit the spot at every turn and,
of course, massive hooks and sophisticated
craftsmanship. The Hallmarks Are All Here. The album
never falls into the trap of being too limp as many
bands from this part of the world can and have
stumbled into, the melodies are always engaging and
bright, the vocals transport smoothly and easily
into the listeners` eardrums and jangle fans. Grade:
"A+", it's Mission Critical for a power pop fan.
