heres the latest american review of 'Out To Go' (released in the USA on may 25th)
"Having been a writer for Kludge for several years now, I enjoy the luxury of being sought out every so often by prospective new acts trying to stick their flag out for media attention. Contact is established, music is shared and the honest opinion is given and then published for you to read and scrutinize. As writers, we enjoy this privilege; as a magazine we are not just responsible for the current hot artists, but to delve deep into the underground and dig up future acts of tomorrow.
Here’s a name you’ll run into soon: Moco. You might have to search for their new album Out to Go at first but put in a little effort if you’re a true rock ‘n roll fan. Through a more traditional style of rock than has been put out in recent years, the influences on this album hang out in the trenches of classic rock. We’re talking heavy Doors sounds, largely in part to Steve Jones’ distorted vocals and overall vision as the album’s songwriter. Rather than the subtle energy of the Doors, Moco has the fire of the Ramones.
What’s strange is that the closest thing to Moco’s music released in recent years would be Reverend Horton Heat. There are similarities in the bands’ energetic, psycho guitar-riffed songs set to abnormal vocals. That’s not to say that Jones's vocals don’t work; no, not at all. We’re saying different, and change is always welcome. “She’s Fine,” and “Completely Gone” are standout tracks for Jones’ efforts. As for the band, there’s nothing overly-complicated, the songs are tight for the purpose of being simple, pure rock and roll.
They’re going to run into problems with radio having no idea where to play them and an industry that has no idea what to do with a sound like this. With the breakthrough success of bands like Jet and the Hives, however, Moco could easily follow their paths. The fan base is there for the taking, they just have to stumble past the bumbling of an industry that can’t figure out how to sell this music to the youth. That’s why we, the writers, need to report back to you on what we have found, or what has found us.
There are no particularly intense lyrics on the album; it’s clean straight ahead rock for easy enjoyment. Most songs on the album hover around three minutes or less, but the best track is “Flooky Wonderland” by far, which is their longest song. It’s the best because there’s not just more of a good thing here, like another chorus added in; no, they wander around and go off on a musical tangent that is unique to the rest of the album. This one song is a unique sound they have to themselves, and we can only hope in the future they celebrate that and use it to increase their depth and intensity.
This is good music. Out to Go is as good a debut as you could hope for."
