Now you’re hearing it
I guess Texas is making a pretty big splash right now in music. Or at least, as far as my listening habits lately are concerned. Blame Team Science Records. The Texas-based label is run by some extremely decent people who have terribly obvious passion for music. Team Science “CEO” Aaron Danger and I have a decidedly similar taste in music and it’s resulted in me enjoying the vast glut of his releases. Be they acoustic-based pop, intricate guitar-pop, or passionate punk.
Needless to say my ears perked up when he let me know how excited he was about his newest signing, Ghost Town Trio.Have You Heard…? is just a four song 7″ (soon)/CD-EP, but like most of Team Science’s releases it evinces the kind of potential only a young band with boundless enthusiasm is capable of.
The opening tracks crackle with pure pop energy, the former reading like the cliff notes to Elvis Costello’s first three albums and the latter’s clean guitars and soaring vocal melody make it pretty clear that AM radio was a staple in the band member’s homes throughout their youth.
Lyrically there is some room for the group to develop, as the words contained within the songs themselves have a way to go before they become something remarkable. But as I said earlier, the potential here is palpable. Hopefully a full-length recording isn’t far off.
