When one thinks of Pop, 'sour' is not generally the first word that comes to mind. Well, that just might change when you hear the new CD by the local band Sour. Because I am here to tell you that this is Pop, and Pop done very well.
Pop is a very broad term.
You have the 'follow the bouncing ball' chorus and, though I didn't try it, I would bet that you could snap your neck up and down to the beat like so many of those kids do at shows these days. Everything comes together here, it all works. Jamie Jacobs weaves her voice seamlessly around Greg Jones' guitar playing, complementing each other rather than tripping over one another. Greg Jones, who also handles the bass playing duties, and John Filipoff, the drummer, work to give the band a solid foundation. Pop needs a strong beat and one that you can follow.
