Toronto based rock 'n' roll trio Mad Ones are leaning to power pop on their new album Regretless, singing about girl trouble, trying to find closure and begging (well, sort of) for another chance after a breakup. A bit of Big Star by way of The Replacements make it a fun listen.
Regretless is like a jukebox filled with double A-side singles, with songs that sound familiar after hearing them just once. No pretense, no posing, but good time music about feeling bad. They won't pick up many awards for inventiveness, but they deserve good grades for delivering catchy hooks and melodies with earworm potential.
Mad Ones:
Andrew DeVillers: vocals, guitar
Russell Fernandes: bass, vocals
Adam Baslam: drums, vocals
Regretless is a self-released album. Buy it from their website. Release date: March 3.
