Yellow #5 - Demon Crossing

Once again, a band with an impressive list of members: Dave Catching, Brant Bjork and Molly McGuire. Now, Molly McGuire is one interesting person. Unlike Smolken, she displays a wide variety of genres. She played bass in Nick Olliveri's insane punk extravaganza Mondo Generator. She formed The Spores, a band so pop, that I'm ashamed to listen to it. And here's Yellow #5's only album, Demon Crossing. And wow.
I mean, WOW. Her voice is great! And as a songwriter, she is equally good. This, with the amazing musicianship of Catching, Bjork and McGuire herself results in one of the best pop-rock records I've heard recently. Interesting and varied and CATCHY AS HELL. One of the album's highlight, "ICFCFBM", sports a chorus which hooked me on instantly. There's the punkish "Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee", the mellow "Screaming Mimi"... Etc etc etc.
I love this album.
