This is
a six song EP of sorts from the band Belleview and I must say that it left me
rather impressed. The songs aren’t
really short but they aren’t overly long either, as they do not tend to
overstay their welcome but manage to get their point across.
One of
the first influences I hear on here for certain is Ultimate Fakebook, who
according to their Twitter is still an active band even though I haven’t heard
a thing about them in something like ten years. They also bring out the qualities of a band
such as Sherwood, and thus you can probably guess in your mind now how this will
sound overall and whether or not you’d like it.
Somehow
either surprisingly or oddly though a song like “Miracle” can bring out this
sort of radio quality that makes me think of a band like Maroon 5 but not
specifically them because, well, I don’t really like Maroon 5 but even though
this does have those qualities of a song I could hear on the radio I do like it
still. There are also some hints of
Wallflowers coming out, but again, never really a big fan of them either.
So,
really, even if you might not like some of the bands I’m pairing Belleview up
with, it’s okay because I don’t really like them either (UFB and Sherwood are
tops though). This may still provide you hope to like this
EP and, yeah, now I’m realizing this review might not have been much help.
