Moonraker, Label
Now, for the first time on earth comes an album you’ll enjoy, if you like Red Kross or Fountains of Wayne. Not to be confused with the band distributed by Maple Music, Moonraker the album, by a power pop act from Chicago, delivers driven, well crafted songs from an Elvis Costello look and sound alike. Dynamic, diverse song structures with groove, thrust, and interesting phrasing provide “instant appeal” like the never losing its punch novelty lyric “handsome, wealthy and hung.” Wes Hollywood plays a heavy guitar, with a new wave influence. But holds back lyrics in the liner notes, with nary even a track listing! It’s a good album, it really is. Solid action is a great sound. But c’mon guys, you’re smithereens-y, do you really expect us to go on just the groovy-pics-of-you graphics, the thanks and our play buttons? We want words too.
