You'd think that a band composed of vocalist/guitarist John Petkovic, guitarist Tim Parnin (both of Cobra Verde), drummer/guitarist J Mascis (of Dinosaur Jr), and bassist Dave Sweetapple (of Witch) would be another angsty '90s-inspired indie rock band, but Sweet Apple's debut album is a rollicking throwback to '70s arena rock.
With an album cover that's an homage to Roxy Music's 1974 release Country Life, this album packs a nice punch with its sound: good riffs, tight drumming, and witty lyrics. Standout tracks include "Do You Remember" and "Flying Up A Mountain." While it isn't groundbreaking, this was a nice reminder of the kind of classic hard rock that I grew up with.
Rating: B+
