One of Conshafter's many critical successes...this courtesy of Induged Magazine (www.indulged.com)from sunny Massachusetts: Reprinted with the kind permission of Indulged Magazine Hey, remember those days when you first heard Weezer and you were bobbing your head like there was no tomorrow?... Wanna do it again? Conshafter is a very clean-sounding, catchy, Weezer-influenced garage rock band. And since Weezer's too busy with their hash pipes, this CD may just be what we needed. With an almost-genious impromptu lyrical style, Your Day Job is a great CD to put on whenever you want; you don't need to be in a particular mood or anything. This CD is what a band sounds like before they quit their day job and enter the music business. You can tell Conshafter had fun recording this album, and that they want you to have fun, too. I was immediately reminded of Weezer when I heard the first track "Road Trip," and sure enough the lead singer, Chris Konstantinos, mentions that he has Pinkerton (Weezer's sophomore album) in the song. You'll also find a striking similarity to Jimmy Eat World in the vocal department, and in the clapping department. The three-piece also reminded me of Ozma, possibly because of the keyboards and 80's-influenced lyrics in "Wanker." And, finally, they reminded me of Jimmie's Chicken Shack, primarily due to the care-free lyrics, proclaimed laziness, and catchy riffs in "Day Job" (Jimmie's Chicken Shack have a tune called "Lazy Boy Dash"). I highly doubt the shelf-life of this CD is even close to that of a Twinkie, because of all the references and modern day slang. But, this is a great CD for all you geek rockers looking for more fun than you can have on an "Island In The Sun." Andy Check out the artist's website: http://www.conshafter.com Track List: 1.
