#638 Streight Angular - Everyone is Synchopated EP

Love these guys to death, one of my favorite local bands, but this EP does little to showcase what they're really about. The title track is the highlight, but the power it wields live just isn't captured here, and the other songs just aren't particularly memorable. There's some clever combinations of rock styles, sure, but there's a lack of punch in the performance and the production that hamstrings their energy. If I'd never heard Streight Angular live I can't say this would inspire me to check them out, but you should. That's where they bring the heat 2.5/5
