The Plagiarists - Veto!
A little while ago, the Plagiarists were just another good band amongst thousands. But after Afternoon Records founder, Ian Anderson, saw them play a battle of the bands, he offered them a recording contract on the spot. Now they are a good band with a recording contract - a much better position to be in as anyone trying to self-finance a record will tell you.
Veto! is a mature-sounding rock album that features subdued guitars being played over some powerful drums. The vocals sung by lead singer, Eric Wilson, are laid-back and a perfect fit for this album.
You’ll want to sit back and listen to this album after a hard day of work, when you are unwinding with a can of pop and a bag of chips and thinking about why you broke up with your last girlfriend, who was so much better than your current one.
Recorded in 10 days, Veto! is an excellent first foray into the record-making business for the Plagiarists. It is bookish on a cerebral level and maintains a consistent level of highbrow rock throughout.
Summary: An excellent first effort from this youthful group.
