Description
There was a time,in the '70's and '80's,when regional America threw up amazing rock 'n' roll bands every few months. Akron,Detroit,Seattle,Boston,Washington DC,Chapel Hill,Memphis,Dallas,the country kept turning out wayward visionaries,grounded in rock 'n' roll but telling singular stories. In the 21st century,media-watchers keep telling us we're becoming more and more alike. They are completely wrong,of course,and here's the latest piece of evidence. Thomas Function love punk rock,but they love country,blues,new wave,garage rock,and the shit happening up the street,too. It comes out sounding like a bunch of earnest,severe songs from the foothills of Huntsville,Alabama,full of anger,clarity,and bourbon. Is America on the brink of a new rock 'n' roll renaissance? People who snapped up their instantly OOP singles,saw one of their chaotic shows,or participated in the fervid blogging about this bunch aren't betting against it. The CD INCLUDES ONE SONG NOT AVAILABLE on the vinyl."Thomas Function has crafted a stunning collection of epic,memorable pop that builds up to a stunning release." - Flagpole"The record's pacing is fantastic with not a dud to be found." - Other Music"Quite simply a perfect pop record." - The Sailor Jerry"A lethal combination." - AMG"Its hard not to enjoy this album as theres a surprise around every corner." - Popmatters"Lead vocalist Josh's voice is,at times,bizarrely androgynous,yet his vocal affectations and melodies are subtly endearing and often provide the hook,line and sinker that makes 'Celebration' so infinitely re-listenable." - Pulse -
