Another percussion-guitar-power-duo from the United States is doing the honor here. Chris Martin and Chris Phillips have joined forces to conquer the stages of the USA and Europe in an economic two-pack. The fact that the songs only develop their full dynamic live, one believes gladly. Not all tracks rock on CD like on stage - take and compare (Youtube sends its greetings) "Stereo": "perfect" as a recording, but live also with weird sounds and scramble sound much more powerful. Indian songs like in "Ms Jones" and Mitgröhlpassagen like in "O.E.O." explain the popularity of the duo, whose shows are considered "suitable for parties". Are the songs "supermegafantastic"? In any case they are full of energy and the dynamite has its place in the band name rightly. But they are by no means really innovative. Nothing really surprising happens. Except that the two Chris dare to dismiss the listener with a somewhat quieter number, the love song "Annie".
Top track: Ms Jones
