VINE
"3 Days in the Desert" (Binary Triplet, Inc.)
Reviewed by Keith Guillotine
Vine is a new band out of California. Their music is a kind of eclectic modern rock style with a jazz background. Not what I would consider hard rock. More like Tom Petty than Tom Araya. In fact, it's kind of a Tom Petty crossed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound, if you can imagine that.
But these guys do have a lot of musical talent. Don't ask me why, but listening to this CD reminded me of the 1960's Height/Asbury days when times were mellow. Most of these songs should be listened to in a Starbucks coffee house. Don't get me wrong, the music is good. It's just that I like my music with a little harder edge. If you stretched things a bit, you might be able to call some of Vine's songs hard rock, but even the hardest are nowhere near metal.
Vine is: Patrick Thompson-vocals, guitars, bass, drums; Greg Git-vocals, percussion, turntables; and Jay Gore-guitars. Additional musicians on this CD are: Francis DiCosmo, Rico DiCosmo, Dave
Heidegger, Ed Instead, Tony Green, Jimmy King, and Gota Yashiki.By the way, the album was produced by band member Patrick Thompson.

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.
