V/A Peacocking in Memphis: 4 Songs in Tribute to the River City EP
Four songs celebrating landmarks in Memphis, Tennessee. Not only do I love this premise for an EP, but each band really brought their own unique spin to each landmark or track. None of the bands were afraid to get a little weird, or mess around with electronics and faster-tempo punk. For me, the highlight was the vocals in “The Day They Took Baby Jesus Away,” as they just got more and more unhinged, from growling to screamo, as the track went on. Great tribute record.
