The Honeydogs
Seen A Ghost
[October/Debris/Mercury]
Rating: 4.5
The Honeydogs are not a bad band, but their albums suck. Seriously.
I've seen these guys in concert a couple of times and they're loads of
fun. Shamelessly safe but enthusiastic rock with that No Depression
undercurrent tied up in catchy choruses. If you get a chance to see
these kids play, you'll probably have a good time. If you listen to
their major label debut, well... different story. I wouldn't say that
the studio gloss completely sucks out anything cool you'd glean from
Adam Levy's vocals, but... oh, wait, actually I would say that. Now I
know who's ghost they've seen: Jakob Dylan's.
