Greaser Phase

s/t 

(Shambotic Recordings)



This was still cooling when Shambotic gave up the ghost. Undeterred, the NYC guitar/vocals duo of Benny Imbriani and Jonny Crouch are soldiering forward. (The two benefit here from the in-pocket assistance of drummer Kevin Shea.) Influences are robustly embraced and thrown into textured melange: Keef riffs chime with classic Rock'n'Roll's carbonated jubilance, compelling singing etches personality, and even Pop happens by to bestow mellifluous wonderment. 

Recommended: "Lonely Hearts Killer," "Back In California," "Believe It," "Love Is Guaranteed," "False Paradise," "Over and Out"
