Tremendous Efforts
Get rocked by the garage-punk meets western-movie soundtrack as wells as their newfound fondness for hefty doses of psychedelia and mellow SoCal country.
Remember when you always got picked last for teams in school and it seemed like that hot shot kid who always got picked first never failed to win the game by beating you? Oh how you wanted to get the best of that kid. Just once, you thought, I'm gonna do it. But you never did. Why? Because that kid was clearly better than you. He had the advantage of skills, genes, tough older brother, whatever. You couldn't beat him. The best thing you could do was try and be his friend. Maybe when he was captain of the kickball team he'd feel sorry for you and not pick you last.
Tremendous Efforts, the Sadies third album is kind of like that guy. It gets all the chicks with hot guitar playing and dangerous attitude. Dudes at the bar are buying it beer because they have been rocked sufficiently by the garage-punk meets western-movie soundtrack with a newfound fondness for hefty doses of psychedelia and SoCal country. Then, when it speeds away off to the next gig in the coolest car ever you are just hoping to get a ride.
