Wild (Acoustic) |
This Austin, TX. quintet boasts influences ranging from the Beatles to Loudon Wainwright
III, and it shows. Using artistic styles of melodic pop, straight ahead rock,
salsa/reggae, and acoustic balladry, The Runes take their virtual cornucopia of
instruments (too numerous to list) and expertly construct various musical backgrounds for

The Heart
12. Mind Tricks |
WOW has produced a pop disc that is rooted in the past, yet flourishes in the present.
These "Classic" pop tunes would be right at home on any of the early Who
("Insomnia") and Kinks ("Social Climber") records. Did someone say The
Standells? ("Jennifer"), and it doesn't stop there, you get 12 tracks that ask
you; Is this '60s pop for '90s people?, or '90s pop for '60s people? You
decide... Full Review

Dan Bacon gives us "Cry". A mini-LP (Our designation- remember them?) of

every track off this 7 song disc captures a different element of straight out guitar
rock....

|
1. Dreamin'
2. You
3. Become
4. Realization
5. Damp |
...How wild that these songs could sound completely different at first, but upon continued
listens they showed themselves to have that same eerie, seductive charm wrapped in layers
and layers of musical subterfuge that only heighten the sensibilities of the ears and
mind...

6. together
7. life support
8. understanding
9. overrated
10. so obscene
11. forbidden |
I can not put an accurate finger on this disc. The
appeal is broad and far reaching. Many elements shine. Musical structures and influences
abound. I find words difficult to describe the feelings created while listening to this
disc, not an easy thing to admit for someone who needs/uses words to get the message of
the music across to others. Yet, the power and draw of this disc is something that can not
go unheeded. Full

This downunder blue collar, beach bum, history teacher, singer-songwriting artist
uses the talent of words and music as an outline. Kieran then allows us to fill in the
colors of this portrait, allows our pallets to blend with his as he teaches us how
carefree can be painted with pain, sorrow, and ache, as well as joy, love, and
fun.
