The Aussie band You Am I has continued to do a great job of producing melodic garage rock on a grand scale. The latest album “Convicts” continues the tradition. Sounding alot like the Replacements these guys have the goods. “Thank God I’ve Hit Bottom” is a slice of punk heaven and the album continues it’s loud rolling drums and blistering guitar riffs with “It ain’t funny how we don’t talk anymore.” My biggest complaint here is that the album continues in high gear for over nine tracks, without a slower tune to balance it out. In fact, the ferocity of the tunes come closer to AC/DC meets The Who, by the time we get to “Constance George.” We do get two mid-tempo tunes at the end “Explaining Cricket” and “I’m a Mess” that recall the wit and pop savvy of The Kinks. Overall, another Tim Rogers classic to add to your collection. Visit the band’s site to hear some streaming goodness. Get this one at Amazon.com
