Customer Reviews
THIS is music!
Population 5 is soon to be one of the greatest indie bands around. They have captivating lyrics that I find myself singing to in the shower after listening only once, and their playing is so signature, they have created their own genre. Bravo to Population 5, I am looking forward to another CD!
Nevermind that they
Here's what the Monterey County Weekly said about Population 5 and their debut album "Descendants of Billy"...
"Teen rock band Population 5 crank out a big sound that's savvy beyond their years, like the title of the opening track on their debut album Descendants of Billy—it's called "Thank God for Science." They sport an enviably big sound and lush, crisp production. "Virgin Birth of Sympathy" sounds like they've been listening to The Strokes. But influences only go so far. Thirteen-year-old songwirter Sam Griffin-Ortiz was a finalist in the 2009 International Songwriting Competition for "Dream," a 6-minute ballad that starts off like a military funeral march on mushrooms and swells into an anthem with cutting lyrics ("I'm scared straight cuz I got no fear...Got an empty life Jesus can't save...Bobby's little dream home with the blood spot on the floor") that make you scratch your head and ask, "A 13-year-old wrote that?" "Run Away," sung with deadpan rock ennui by Emma Griffin-Ortiz shreds like Lenny Kravitz jamming with Zep and Queens of the Stone Age. When she chimes in on Sam's songs with her counterpoint harmony, it conjures Exene and John Doe from X. Nevermind that they're kids, though it's an intriguing novelty, these youngsters just plain rock."
Population 5 Rocks!
I was at this CD's release party! I find myself constantly humming there's very good songs. I'm so buying the next album that comes out!
Emma and Sam (the singers) are very talented. I can't wait for more originals!
