Fred Argir
No Pushover
Review by Gary Hill
This is the latest from Fred Argir. There is some compelling, seriously hard-edged, alternative rock on this set. Like the previous disc from him I reviewed, though, this is a case where less would be more. There just isn't enough variety here to maintain the set for this many songs. It gets to where it sounds pretty monolithic at points. Dropping three or four songs from the disc would have made it stronger. Still, for the most part, just spinning a tune or two, it works well.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) in Music Street Journal: 2019 Volume 6. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2019.
