THE CHURCHILLS:
You Are Here
(Abrupt / Universal)
The
Churchills are a four-piece band from the New York area. Heavily influenced by
power pop artists like Crowded House, Jellyfish and especially Badfinger, the
group mixes thoughtful lyrics with a keen musical ability & soaring
harmonies. From the relentless power chords of "Beautiful" to the rocker,
"Maybe Make Me Okay" (a song that originally appeared on their independent
release, Magnifique 400), the songs pay homage to all the bands that influenced
them, yet never sound derivative. In addition to the songs mentioned above,
other highlights include "Ex #1 Fan," "Disposable," and "Mysticated Girl." You
Are Here is one of those CDs that sound great the first time you hear
it.
