"...digital retro..." by the badge is aptly named. Extracting everything that is
good from Rock 'n' Roll's vinyl days (retro) and updating it to the (digital) present, the
badge has succeeded where many have paled in comparison. They have taken all that was
taught to us by the Beatles, studied it, learned it, then after acing the exam, went into
the studio and used that knowledge to create "...digital
retro..."... Full Review

Some where between Folk Rock and Pop there lies Pub Rock, a laid back acoustic sound with
an electric bite. This is Pawnshop's stamping ground. The mix of acoustic and electric
guitars is masterful. The high energy sound that cruises along with the right amount of
reserve seems to draw influence from Waterboys/Black 47 Irish Rock style arrangements...

..a
psychotic subliminal manifestation that I'm probably reading TOO much into and getting
twice TOO much out of, but that's the whole joy of this disc. It takes the listener on an
odyssey of their own, allowing the individual to reach into the depths of their
subconscious and let the music create an image that is unique to each in their own way..

Using
a smoked ravaged mellow vocal that draws visions of beret wearing, cool cat, "shoobie
de wah wah", goatee'd beat poets (Uncle)Carl sings tales of loneliness and heartbreak
("I'm Smokin' Again", "No One To Hold", "Holdin' My Baby's
Hand") against the backing of a band who play with such dripping emotion and passion
that it slices through your conscious and reaches the places inside of you that are only
acknowledged with great reluctance, let alone revealed.
