Spirit of ’76 All Talk ep



Artist: Spirit of ‘76

Album: All Talk ep

Label: (Self-Release) 2007

Spirit of ’76 is a great modern rock group with an ambitious sound that dares you not to enjoy yourself; which while listening to their debut ep, All Talk, is quite the challenge. These Minneapolis natives have self produced (with the help of Jared Logan) and self released a tight, 5 song ep that is as party ready as your CD player is capable of playing it. Lead singer Douglas Lanz provides poppy and exciting vocals that help propel the groups’ post-punk sound, and the combinations of keyboards with Ryan Tenjack’s guitar work make for a familiar sound that is immediately accessible. They may not be the most introspective or groundbreaking group around, but they certainly are one to keep an eye on.

Score: 6 out of 10
