From Americana-UK: PIKE 27 “Falling Down Hard” -- Pike 27 hail from Cincinnati and class themselves as Americana, although it’s refreshing to hear from the opening chords of first track “Wrecking Yard” a strong hybrid college rock sound. The songs contained on this, their debut CD, are rootsy (particularly the Steve Earle-esque “Devil’s Radio”) without losing their edge, and while they’re not the most distinct band in the world, lead singer Dave Purcell’s ear for a good hook and passionate lyric can leave you blinded. Matchbox 20, this is where you should be now. Available from Miles of Music now. |
