BRUNTNELL, PETER - Nos Da Comrade

Peter Bruntnell's long musical CV pays off once again. Nos Da Comrade, his latest album (2016), is brilliant. Mr. Bruntnell creates just the right blend of up-tempo, pop melodies with songs of love and love lost, along with some 60's sensibilities and quiet harmonies. Other times, the groove is more on the line of Foo Fighters--the less screamy side of Grohl. He waxes political on the first song, "Mr. Sunshine", where scathing words are thinly masked by an addictive pop melody and jangling guitar. "Yuri Gagarin" includes a nasty guitar solo about 6 minutes into the psychedelic blues jam Record Label: Blue Rose Style: Rock
