#1795 JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound - Howl

JC can belt it and the The Uptown got a good Sound - every song's got a slinky little buzz to it, especially that Rouse Yourself bass. But the songwriting's just too damn predictable, each track showing its cards straightaway, verse-chorusing its 3-4 minutes away without a single swerve.

This is the kind of thing Alabama Shakes gets away with because they've got Brittany, but Brooks just doesn't have that kind of bandcarrying force 2.5/5
