Review by antiGUY
The Reunion Show have hit upon a winning
formula with their full length debut “Kill Your Television.” That formula
is an effective mix of 80’s new wave and modern alt-pop. A sound that borders
on what some call punk-pop, but before go screaming off proclaiming, “I
hate punk-pop!”, read on because you won’t mistake The Reunion Show for
the likes of Sum 41!
Think Weezer meets Elvis Costello meets
“London Calling” era Clash meets The Romantics meets The Cars meets Jimmy
Eat World. So it’s classic new wave mixed with present day alt-pop, all
done in prime fashion. You don’t get the lame nasal tinged vocals or weak
guitars of the mainstream punk-pop bands, instead you get a great collections
of songs that aren’t afraid to breakout of a restraining formula and actually
rock and deliver unforgettable melodies that follows more in the pattern
of Weezer than Green Day but still has more of a punk edge. The vocals
are more in the true tradition of punk and new wave on most songs and then
fall into Weezer territory on others. The music itself has a mix of punk,
new wave keyboards and modern alt-pop riffing. In other words, it’s a grab
bag of sound that could have easily missed it’s mark but fortunately for
The Reunion Show and fans it hit on all cylinders.
Mixings different styles of music together
to come up with a unique sound is a difficult task, even for the most accomplished
musicians, but The Reunion Show make it seem so effortless. This is a great
disc from beginning to end that should have a wide appeal. This is
definitely a band to check out and keep an eye on!
