When
Weezer first debuted their song “Buddy Holly”, which I heard performed live
with the precursor of “This is going to be our next single”, I never thought
that so many bands would sound like a cross between Buddy Holly and Weezer
these twenty years or so later.
With
the tinny sound of the guitar that borders on garage rock, Gringo Star have
that Superdrag sound that can be found in movies like “That Thing You Do!”. They do, however, add their own sort of
sense and charm to their music so as to not be just another fold among the
pack.
Yes,
Gringo Star has accomplished something on this album that I didn’t think was
possible in music anymore. They have managed
to make themselves a big fish in a big sea, if you will pardon the play on
words from the album title.
