THE SAMMIES - FALLING OUT

ARTIST / BAND: THE SAMMIES
SONG (MP3): FALLING OUT
ALBUM: The Sammies
FILE UNDER: Indie / Alternative / Rock
LABEL: Morisen Records

INFO: The Sammies probably weren't even alive for post-punk, let alone punk, but what does that matter? On this energetic and infectious album track, they sound like Bloc Party or the Futureheads reincarnated as a Midwestern bar band. Drummer Donnie Yale makes his hi-hat sound ready for a fight, Gymmy Thunderbird's bass steps up disco-style to the chorus, and Murphy Upshaw's guitar is a rowdy pit of jostling elbows. Sounding a little like Mike Ness and a little like Paul Westerberg, vocalist Frank Backgammon foregoes darkly existential angst in favor of light hook-up despair, frankly admitting, "I wanna screw you tonight! I wanna be your best friend!" while the band puts the moves on that hot pop-hook chorus. "Falling Out" is just one cheeseball pick-up line away from getting into your ears' pants.
