SNEAKPEEK, “Walk All Over Me”

I enjoy this kind of shoegaze – the kind blended with a little bit of face-melting guitar work – but I wonder if they could pick up the pace just a tad? Maybe it’s the amount of caffeine I’ve consumed in order to stay up all night in order to write this* or something, but there’s something about each of the four songs over at SNEAKPEEK’s Bandcamp that makes me think they would rock ten thousand times harder if they snuck just one extra beat in every minute. But, hey, they rock pretty well already. It’s not my band. Jeez, get off my back already.

The above track, “Walk All Over Me” is a bit of a monster. Simple riff, vocal harmonies reminiscent of the Breeders, and, as mentioned earlier, some screamin’ hot steel (that, honestly, came out of nowhere; did Ron Asheton get lost?). Hope to hear more like it on the upcoming EP.

*Uh … and do other things. I didn’t stay up all night just for eight sentences.
