Thomas Function - Celebration
"There was a time, in the '70's and '80's, when regional America threw up amazing rock 'n' roll bands every few months. Akron, Detroit, Seattle, Boston, Washington DC, Chappell Hill, Memphis, Dallas, the country kept turning out wayward visionaries, grounded in rock 'n' roll but telling singular stories. In the 21st century, media-watchers keep telling us we're becoming more and more alike. They are completely wrong, of course, and here's the latest piece of evidence. Thomas Function love punk rock, but they love country, blues, new wave, garage rock, and the shit happening up the street, too. It comes out sounding like a bunch of earnest, severe songs from the foothills of Huntsville, Alabama, full of anger, clarity, and bourbon. Is America on the brink of a new rock 'n' roll renaissance? People who snapped up their instantly OOP singles, saw one of their chaotic shows, or participated in the fervid blogging about this bunch aren't betting against it."

"Thomas Function's bright, charismatic melodies are carried through a straight up beating, thumping, chiming rock n roll delivery. Signature bright keys and around classic rock bass drum set the top and bottom plateaus for the insanity. Classic, but somehow it comes off in a shiny new package. Like a tack piano on steroids. All because of the smart production and great song-writing going on in this band. And who can deny the patented melody-belt of Josh's vocal stylings? These are the type of musicians the record execs woulda trekked down to the swamp to sign a few decades ago...askin directions toward "that rock n roll genius sound". It just reeks of authentic, classic instant smash-hit wonder syndrome. And it keeps on pouring out of their pens in direct proportion to the booze pouring down their lovely pop-singin throats."
