Finally getting around to their debut album after nearly four years as a band,
State Radio
seemingly throw everything in leader
Chad Urmston
's songbooks onto tape, as if the band can't make up their minds what they want their musical persona to be. A surprising number of these 14 songs, like the opening
"People to People,"
are straight-up
reggae
, with
Urmston
working to sound as much like
Bunny Wailer
as a white boy from Vermont can. Elsewhere, the vibe is more akin to
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
' nervy updating of late-'70s
post-punk
of
the Specials
/
Jam
/
Ruts
variety, as on the rocking
"Black Cab Motorcade."
Then there's a lot of stuff like
"Man in the Hall,"
where the idea is to make
jam band
grooves for the trustafarians to noodle-dance to. Mixed in with all of these divergent ideas are songs like the genuinely haunting ballad
"Riddle in London Town"
and the distorted, tense
"Calvados Chopper"
that don't fit neatly into any particular style and are therefore the most easy to like and memorable tunes on the record. Perhaps on their second album,
State Radio
will have a clearer idea of where they're going. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
