Second Hand

Demo #1   digital release

(Self-issued)




Per guitarist/singer Matthieu, this demo was put to tape in an afternoon. That abruptness and the trio's youthfulness account for fresh, bold onrush. Material predominently consists of familiar covers, but that in no way disqualifies the combo's maiden effort from appreciation; they selected crackerjack numbers and rendered them sharply. Attraction to classics illustrates players' heartfelt bond to world-shaking music. Intimations of distinction flare. 

Recommended: "Second Hand Presents," "Long Tall Sally," "Have Love, Will Travel," "Slow Down," "The Witch," "Train Kept A-Rollin'"
