What
is rock n roll? Does it even matter at
this point in time? The idea of rock
music has been so far diluted and construed that I can only really begin to
define music as good as Dinners to you by using comparisons to other bands that
have been known to rock.
Aside
from the obvious choice of pointing out that they cover a song by the Breeders,
Dinners also display the better side of The Strokes and Modern English right
from the start. Hints of Aldous Snow
flow out next, and while I fully realize he is a fictional character his music
is still just so real to me dammit.
Add
in some underlying, almost hidden, Foo Fighters guitar tones and you’re almost
there. You just need to have some
Smoking Popes, Damn Personals and The Killers if portrayed by The Who come out,
and then you’ll be closer to understanding this one on paper (or computer
screen, if you’ll pardon an old phrase)
Ideally,
you just need to buy this cassette, crank it as loud as it goes and thank me
later because it just all around rocks no matter how you compare it with whomever.
