Scamper - Leave
Your Glasses On
By Eric Bodrero
The album debut Leave Your Glasses On
from Bostons own Scamper rocks with a certain energy thats missing in
most of todays overplayed radio hogs, clogging up the airwaves like week
old gravy down the kitchen sink. Scampers sound is clean and tight and
engineered to minute perfection, belting out power-pop anthems such as
Sophie, Over And Over, and Escaping Flatland that would make fifteen
year rock veterans jealous.
Pleasant harmonies, infectious melodies,
sweetened guitar hooks, and raw, youthful energy blend together to give
Scamper a highly polished sheen that blinds you like the glare from a piece
of sheet metal in the sun. So whats the problem here? This stuff should
have rocked on for at least fifteen more minutes, but rather, abruptly
ends barely a half an hour into it, leaving you feeling apprehensive and
shorthanded, wanting more and quietly swearing to yourself.
However, thats exactly what Scamper wants:
to give you a taste of good things to come, and wanting only to kick your
eardrums in, rock you hard for thirty minutes, get the job done, and get
the hell out, leaving you anxious for more material. Lets hope that inevitable
material can equal the brilliance and power of Leave Your Glasses On.
