Press Reviews FILO, SpamelopeJive (CT4): This funky sextet produces a pleasing brand of jazz rock along the lines of Dave Matthews Band.Thankfully, they have enough individuality to avoid actually sounding like anyone else, though. Lead vocalist Felix "Spamelope"McTeigue has a smooth delivery, with just enough edge to his tones to keep your focus. The rhythm section is strong yet sensitive tofeel, the lead guitar lines are rich and distinctively executed and the two-piece horn section adds texture and extra drive. The material isdiverse, but held together by the band's sound, which has already developed into a signature. Considering Filo's first gig was in Februaryof this year, that's quite a feat; most bands don't gel that quickly. This is an excellent debut. -JS [Jennifer Shields]
