Brant Bjork and The Bros - Somera Sol
Reviewed by dcsfinest
Brant Bjork and his homeboys could very well be creative guys, but they certainly don’t show it on Somera Sol. The record is repetitive. It's boring. And, it's ineffective. The best you can say about some of the songs, like "China Rose," is that you can snap your fingers to them. Unfortunately, the vocals fit with that track about as well as barbecue sauce fits with ice cream. Bjork doesn't have a bad voice, and his band seems to have a knack for finding the right groove in every song. The problem is that once they get there, they don't ever break out of it. Good rock music should surprise you and keep you on your toes. This album will keep you on the couch. [www.myspace.com]
