They Say...
Appropriately released on MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer's MuscleTone Records, Cobra Verde's third full-length, Easy Listening, is nothing less than a masterpiece of glammed-up sexual obsession, agit-pop antics and indie rock glitter. With a sound that goes from David Bowie playing garage rock ("To Your Pretty Face"), to catchy-as-heck, late-'70s arena rock ("My Name Is Nobody"), to Led Zeppelin-meets-surf rock ("Modified Frankenstein"), this Cleveland band takes Mott the Hoople, Thin Lizzy, T. Rex, and the Stooges, and makes one amazing amalgam of sweet references and contemporary, feel-good rock and roll. Other records from 2003 have been more innovative and certainly heavier, but Easy Listening is so golden, so upbeat, and so perfectly right-out-of-the-Midwest's sleeper-hotbed of rock that it simply sounds bigger than life -- like the Queens of the Stone Age's fun-loving, land-locked cousins that dream of the California sun and surf. Those jagged guitars, on "Throw It Away," for example, and unstoppable choruses ("Do you think we're whores!?" from "Whores"), are infectious in a way that takes you to another time and place -- some alternate universe where rock stars are still willing to live carefree and reap the benefits of the lifestyle.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
