Let It Go
Album - Alternative, Music, Rock, Jam Bands, Reggae, Adult Alternative
Boston jam rock trio State Radio's third studio long-player opens with “Mansin Humanity,” a grunge marinated indie-rocker saturated in rich guitar distortion that sounds like the band barged Crazy Horse’s rehearsal space and borrowed their gear. The following “Calling All Crows” changes the tone drastically with the kind of college friendly Rasta jam with lyrics that call for a peaceful revolution. “Doctor Ron the Actor” moves faster with the swift strumming of ska-tinged guitars and a tight horn section. “Arsenic & Clover” gets a bit more raucous with a hard driving chorus and a wonderfully fuzzy bass solo from Chuck Fay that leaves you wanting to hear more if only because it’s inside of the harder numbers where State Radio sound in their element. “Held Up By The Wires” is a perfect example — you can hear hints of In Utero era Nirvana seeping from the crunchy, grinding guitars and former Dispatch member Chad Urmston’s voice sometimes segueing into a Kurt Cobainesque drawl.
