Grizzly rockers come together to gather an army
Our Own War, the first release for Toowoomba-based eclectic rock quintet Project 62, follows a burgeoning reputation as a solid live act. It’s a record of playful contradictions: deep vocals over blues-tinged tracks; the sweeter, melodic ballad Without; and angrier, heavier rock tracks with political agendas like God’s Gift. The record is driven lyrically by a staunch, nearly religious rejection of passivity, both personal and political. Project 62 presents a raucous, self-aware but likeable meld of rock influences, lined with the earnest ethos of old-soul punk-rockers. Our Own War comes complete with a handy appreciation guide for listeners: “1. Play it loud. 2. Read the lyrics while you listen. 3. When the album seems over, keep listening – you might be in for a surprise!” Ideal listening would be live from a dank, darkened country bar, but if that’s not possible, try suggestion 5: “For best results, serve with whiskey and/or beer.”

This album blew me away. I'm not a rock chick, but I fell in love with the soulful voice and impressive musicality. A worthwhile investment. |
