Scott’s Garage
Soul Magnet
Review by Gary Hill
Scott’s Garage is an intriguing band, at least based on this, their second album. The music has a texture that’s not that far removed from bands like Stone Temple Pilots, but there’s a definite pop rock edge to it. Lots of psychedelia permeates much of the disc. They call themselves a “power pop” band, and certainly that fits to a large degree. It doesn’t really capture the full essence of who the band is, though. While there’s not a lot of variance from song to song, this is the kind of disc that just works, beginning to end.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2011 Volume 2 at lulu.com/strangesound.
