When I read the Earshot Media press release about this one I was not familiar with the group or most of the musician’s associated acts. I had heard of Gameface but even there it was in a limited way (a song called “Daylight Savings” that had been put on a mix tape for me back in the 90’s that was mostly full of Buffalo Tom songs). I went back and gave that track a listen and it was pretty cool. I also had to give some props to my old bud who made that mix tape…Gameface definitely fit the groove for that collection. I did go back and pick up that entire digital album (Three To Get Ready) that had “Daylight Savings” on it. If you have a couple spare moments you can check it here:

Back to this Sleep Pod Two release “All That We Have (Is Each Other)” which is a solid single all on its own. Nice loud guitars right away, this one is fast paced and energetic with a slowdown about midway through that provides just enough space in an otherwise “wall to wall” flurry of sound. The song goes out in a frenzy of guitar and drums that will leave you looking for more.
Musicians on this are: Guy Julian (bass, vocals), Chris Whyte (vocals, guitar), Todd Trout (guitars), Wal Rashidi (drums)

And if you have the inclination …think about purchasing it if you can as steaming music does not pay well even times a thousand. You can check out the pre-order for the EP (via Mindpower Records) here:
