Big Trews fan? Then picking up November's release of Thank You and I'm Sorry is long done for you. So-so Trews fan? Then the band's latest seven-songed EP is what you'd expect of classic Trews rocking out in an East Coast way. As a fellow East Coaster, I get that the boys like to have a riled-up crowd of pub-goers singing in their seats over a pitcher of Keith's—sing-along lyrics equal fun times—but "The Power of Positive Drinking" is too much of a hokey spin on positive thinking. We get it guys, you like the booze, save the puns for The Sun."Lord, Keep Me In Mind" is a bit different and has a gospel-choir feel, but missing from it and any other song are any funky piano solos like in the days of "Paranoid Freak." And while "Herm-Aphrodite (she was a guy)" was kinda humorous, the recounting of kissing a guy who looked like a girl was a little too "Lola"-esque. Maybe ease off the shots a little so you know who you're kissing, and lay off writing lyrics like, "She had a nice cun ... tree voice." Classy. vueweekly.com comments: powered by Disqus
