Free Music Review: DELIGHTFUL DEBUT! AN IMPORT WORTH IMPORTING! (4.6 stars)
Hit: 5 Stars
As of this review, there is NO domestic release date, and that is real shame. Over the Counter Culture is a brilliant slice of britpop/rock at it's finest. Spawning at least 4 singles over in the UK, The Ordinary Boys have put together a fine debut, chock full of great riffs, melodies and all sing-a-longs. Upon first listen, one will instantly hear what I believe is the biggest influence... THE JAM. Tracks like Seaside, Talk Talk Talk and Just a Song, are pretty much right out of Paul Weller's songbook. But all this does not take away from their own unique energy they bring to the record, they have enough ammo to equip 4 or 5 records worth, and the Jam comparisions from me are nothing but affectionate.
My favorite tracks are Just a Song, Seaside, In Awe of the Aweful and Little B*tch. The latter sounds very ska-punk influenced (after all the original is by The Specials), but it trips along with such melody and pace, one can't help just to have fun with it. This debut is in the long line of hot-tipped, Brit debuts that zines like NME drool all over for about a week or so. This time, as with a lot of stuff from this year, they get it right, The drooling is definitely deserved. The lack of filler on this record makes this one for the long haul. Now if we could only get it domestically?!?
Over the Counter Culture Poster
The Libertines have the mythology, Razorlight have the attitude but only one new band in Britain have the songs. The Ordinary Boys stunning debut ?Over The Counter Culture? is a glorious amalgamation of 80s indie and mod sharpness owing equal debt to The Smiths and The Jam yet still retaining a winning originality.
