The title of The Telegenic’s new album is appropriate: there’s a real sense of pedal-to-the-floor, caution-to-the wind attitude in their classic rock sound. The vocals are belted, the guitars are cranked, and the tunes give you the sense you’re flying down a country road on a Friday night with Tom Petty alongside as your drinking buddy.

On asphalt-gasoline-chrome-flesh-blood-n-bone it’s the crunching guitars that take the songs to another level. The production is solid, but appropriately rough enough to keep the songs a little edgy. And with 14 solid tunes, there’s plenty of rock n’ roll and guitar leads to go around.

Favorite Track: Track 11, “Last Time Around”
