Press Reviews
Skinny Legs and All
HearSay is accustomed to being astonished on Friday nights;
most recently, the fun surprise was that a drummer with such
skinny legs could thomp so hard that the Ridglea Theater's
last-row seats were throbbing. The excitement was only partially
because HearSay has lived alone for too long and mainly because
all of the Adderallics thomp to the max. HearSay hasn't heard
such energetic power-glam-pop-punk since it peaked in the
mid-'90s.
Lead guitarist/songwriter Shafter has the cool name, but
HearSay predicts rock stardom for lead singer/bassist Cameron
Adkins, who in the middle of screaming at the sound guy for
more vocals in the monitors suddenly turned charming: "I have
such a pretty voice -- I want to hear myself." Awwww. (Note to
aspiring musicians: Don't piss off the sound guys -- you need
them a lot more than they need you.) Shafter, Adkins, rhythm
guitarist Jacob Hunt, and power drummer Mike Smith all have
the rock-star-ready 'tude, striking pose after pose as if they
rehearsed in an aerobics studio with mirrored walls. Normally
HearSay would find all this amusing, but the Adderallics have the
power and talent to back up their posturing, and they did it
without help from Viacom. The throbbing seats, though, turn
out to be attributable to the Ridglea's new twice-the-power
sound system. So HearSay can get its thrills no matter who's
playing.
