pointed noodles, no thanks
During a recent trip to Vancouver BC (no, I didn’t attend the winter Olympics) I saw posters for a concert by Canadian band Pointed Sticks. The blurb said they were an old punk rock band who had released a new recording in 2009 after a multi-year hiatus. I liked the album art and title — ‘Three Lefts Make a Right’.
Hard to find in the U.S., so I downloaded the MP3s from Amazon.
Long story short — don’t waste your time. I’d call it a cross between lukewarm Green Day and The Carpenters. These sticks are more like wet noodles.
While the musicianship is competent, the words are saccharine. If this band got a better songwriter perhaps they’d be more interesting.
You have been warned.
