Prince Edward Island guys get sunny.

  • We Say...

    Two Hours Traffic are like that guy who can get a crowded room to listen, even if his voice is barely above a whisper, and he never, ever yells to prove a point. Even with their hushed, mellow vocals, they create a sound that's surprisingly large. Unafraid to experiment with boyish vocal harmonies and soaring group choruses ("No Advances," "Stuck for the Summer"), Little Jabs recalls the carefree sunshine of high school summer break. Life and relationships seem simpler and sweeter with lead singer Liam Corcoran crooning "Jezebel, I've got to see you when that sun goes down again" while an ooh-ing chorus of Beach Boys background singers support him.

    This same careful restraint is also demonstrated in the instrumentals. Each song starts with a slow build and each echoing guitar and drum beat seems to serve its own particular, planned-out purpose. This carefully measured sound doesn't detract from the laid-back, carefree vibe that binds the album as a whole -- and ultimately makes it a success.
