  • I like it - there's some heartfelt songs
    author: Diana Gosciminski

    I've seen this chap on Youtube and liked what I've heard. Perfect Ears has this tension of shyness and frustration while Wonder Woman reminds me of my youth sitting before the TV every Saturday. I enjoy it's quirkiness, and sometimes dark lyrics. The instruments and femail vocals used add a nice touch. If you like alternative rock, then I recommend this CD.
