Chadwick Station – Waiting For a Sunny Day
Englishwood Records – ER-84227
A British band based in Nashville? What do you expect? Well, what you get is something quite interesting and pleasant to listen to. Vestiges of Brit-pop influences slide in graciously helping create a sort of warm, friendly pop vibe that feels like it should have been written decades ago, but manages to work its charms in modern times. The harmonies are smooth and silky, the rhythms tight, and there is just enough guitar punch married to the catchy hooks to give the music a subtle kick of upbeat feelings. Probably not something for the “trendy” alt crowd, but sometimes you feel if this music had been created years ago, that it is the type of songs The Killers should have listened to in their formative years. It also does not hurt that the legendary Bill Cuomo (Steve Perry, Reo Speedwagon, Smokey Robinson, etc.) produced this enjoyable five song EP. – MW
