biographical info
Oh man. Get ready for this one, people, because The Morning After is going to blow you away with a 10-song, 34-minute blast of straight-forward rock 'n' roll that will hit you so hard it'll flatten your faux-hawk, straighten your flares and scrub the trendy tribal tattoos right off your skin. Yes, this album is that good - a no-frills, classic-rock-rooted record from a five-piece which, like The Hold Steady and Marah, is sounding a resounding call to arms to those who simply refuse to let rock 'n' roll die without a fight. What's the secret? Nothing other than tight playing; beautifully raw, live production values and a fabulous singer/songwriter in the form of Jean-Guy Roy, a stumblebum-looking dude whose wailing voice is the essence of primal-scream passion. Picking a fave tune from this 10-pack is a difficult task, but for contrast's sake, why not try the rave-up Not Your Fault or the remarkably bittersweet, midtempo love/hate song Declaration of Codependence?
