Release Notes:
--------
Italian power poppers Suinage deliver an album full of high energy rock that
fans of Adam Marsland's Cockeyed Ghost and Joe Jackson will eat right up. So
listen up, kids. Band members Pilli Colombo on guitar and vocals, Ariel Dotti on
bass, and Flavio Torzillo on drums take no prisoners on the opener "Toothbrush"
with hyper kinetic guitar riffs throughout that are meant to played with the
volume setting on "11". This continues on the compelling "Don't Pass Me By" with
riffs and vocals that recall the early pre-poppy Smashmouth. Other standouts
here are "All Eyes On Me" and "July" as Pilli dials down the roughness and gets
downright melodic. The guitars jangle away in the latter track, and I consider
it the best of the album. Then the remaining tracks on the album revert back to
the rough edged rock, and this works better when the chord structures go beyond
typical jamming, like on "Chump" and "Underneath the Leaves." I hope to hear
more from Suinage in the future, as they are currently on tour with Radio Days
in Italy. Let's hope they're not shy and visit us here in the states soon. Buono
