Bourgeois Heroes “Musical Postcards” EP
The Bulletproof Vests “Attack!”
Memphis Brothers Jake and Toby Vest put together a solid roots rock album full of riffs that the late Alex Chiton would approve of. And with the help of Argent studios engineer Adam Hill, they mix together power pop, rock, R&B with a southern attitude. Opening with the strong “Magic Wand” it’s lead by a mean slide guitar riff and solid pop rhythm, that recalls Duane Allman at his poppiest. “Darlin’ Wait” is a perfect example of catchy backbeat and sing along chorus that makes for excellent repeat listens. Every song here is good, from the glam-style rock of “Queenie in Trouble” to the slow blues ballad “Don’t Cry.” “To The Moon” has a big T-Rex vibe and the band takes it to the next level with the anthemic “Hitchhiking To Hell” complete with a blistering guitar solo. A perfect impulse music buy that gets better with each listen.
