REIGNING SOUND
"Shattered" (Merge Records; 2014)
Reviewed by Jeff Rogers
Reigning Sound are garage punk and rock'n'roll. They
have a cool vibe. The music is great, it's smart and the lyrics speak volumes.
This is the kind of stuff you might hear in a bar on live band night and realize
your search for a place to hang has been found, as long as they are playing
there every Friday night. The music also has that comfortable feel; you can put
this disc on be absorbed to an easier time. Reigning Sound have been around
since 2001.
Reigning Sound: Greg Cartwright - lead vocals/guitar; Benny Trokan - bass; Mike
Catanese - guitar; Mikey Post - drums; and Dave Amels - organ.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
