Hello

The Last Place on Earth

self-released

Moody alternative rock starts out this disc, with the vocals almost immediately snagging across a Pearl Jam throatiness, or maybe it’s Alice in Chains, or Creed• or maybe even Hootie and The Blowfish during a more intense moment. Then it moves into a more Doors influenced vibe, like speeding across Americana highways with the bottle of Jack Daniels next to you. Then it hits a keyboard groove, like some velvet smoking lounge on speed, and the vocals still remind me of you know who.
