Album Review
All that's old is new again on Love and Mercy, the sophomore long-player from Rockford, Illinois-based the Braves. And that's a compliment. Fans of late-'80s college radio favorites like R.E.M. and the Smithereens will be instantly delighted by memorable, guitar-fused rockers like "Chicago Catholic" and the outstanding opener "Good Advices." Frontman Joseph Reina sounds like a young Robin Wilson, which makes sense, because the band often sounds like the Gin Blossoms in their Doug Hopkins-era. Whether channeling the indie muscle of Big Dipper on "Our Fathers," reliving the pensive beauty of early Toad the Wet Sprocket or giving the melodic nod to Winter Hours, this five-piece is about 18 years too late for the stardom they deserve. ~ John D. Luerssen, Rovi
Customer Reviews
This record proves there's more to Rockford, IL than Cheap Trick
All Music Guide is crazy. This record has more in common with R.E.M. and southern indie rock circa 81-85 combined with the 'Robert Pollard Effect'= just out of the basement into the studio innocence. Just listen to "My Witness to the Ghost" It is a great sneaky pop song, tight arrangement yet just loose enough to swagger hard, nice shifts by Jesse on drums, great chorus, everything you want in an indie rock anthem. This is a great album, clocks in at just under 32 minutes, the perfect rock record. Hopefully more will catch on, this is a great band from Rockford, IL with all the pop smarts to make a mark on music outside of just the midwest.
