MP3: Shoot the Breeze - Higher ground
I'm taking the next few days to talk about demo music. First on the chopping block, Norway's Shoot the Breeze, a band I first covered over a year ago. Their latest recording isn't much better in terms of actual sound quality, but the music is totally solid. I imagine that some folks might feel silly getting down with such unabashed arena rock, but don't let it get to you. Sure, it's clichéd, but remember that they call it "classic rock" for a reason. I honestly believe that these guys could do well if provided with a proper recording budget - that's really the only thing holding them back at this point. The songs are good and the performances are strong. What else do you need? Nothing.
