Bio
.. .. .. ....CD Baby.. | ..iTunes.. | ..Website.. | ..Blog.... .. ..press.. If, like me, you’ve got a soft spot for the scuzzy grungy rock of the early nineties, you could do far worse than check out New York’s Career Club. Career Club seem to have shaken off the aloof boredom of The Strokes and their ilk and captured the simple energetic vibe of bands like Hüsker Dü and Sebadoh - which is just fine in my book. It’s a classic sound, but contemporary at the same time; raucous but full of good melodic hooks... Go give ‘em a listen at their (refreshingly bullshit-free and easy on the eye) MySpace page, or have a poke around on the Career Club website. Looks like they’re too small to be touring over here in the UK yet, but who knows - that might change pretty soon, especially if trends go the way I think they’re going right now. - ..editor (The Dreaded Press)........ ..Pure Hearing.. is an exercise in the marriage of pop-savvy grunge with the sort of gothic new-wave that poured out of England in the late 1980's. The end result is a noisy, angular rock and roll record that should land significant critical acclaim. .. Quietly doing their own thing in the New York City music scene for the past few years, Career Club has built a solid following by pandering to nothing other than their own musical muse. The musical results are raw in the way good rock and roll should be. - ..Wildy (http://wildysworld.blogspot.com/).. ...... As an adamant and unapologetic dyed-in-the-wool fan of straight-up with no pretense meat and potatoes-style rock’n’roll, I naturally took an instant liking to this neatly peppy and hoppin’ album. Among the yummy things to relish herein are the diggin’ basslines, the constant grinding guitar riffs, relentless driving drum beats, hearty vocals, and a winningly no-nonsense musical sensibility that cuts right to the stirring sonic chase with always tuneful and often exciting results. So give this honey a few spins on your CD player and prepare to get lost in the sweetly swingin’ grooves, baby. - ..Jersey Beat.. ...... The band has a driving buzzsaw guitar attack that really does harken you back to Minneapolis circa 1984. Add to that a pop sensibility and hooks worthy of Grant Hart and the comparisons to Husker Du are dead on. The songs tend to be high octane affairs, with catchy choruses that are guaranteed to get stuck in your head. That is, until the next one comes along and dislodges it. - ..SnobsMusic.com.. .. .. .. .. .. ..Join our mailing list.
