Sometimes I wonder why reviewing is necessary, when there are press releases like the one that accompany Schnapps' debut double a-side. It tells me that 'Schnapps play catchy off the wall garagey rockin', indie rollin' songs about cross dressers, Ice cream, happy hours and Halloween parties.' What more do you need to know?
Some of you might be interested in finding out if it's any good, I suppose, but whether I say it's good bad or indifferent is unlikely to have that much clout in swaying opinion: after all, it's only my opinion.
Objectively, 'Crossdresser' delivers exactly what the press release promises: an uptempo garage rocker with production values to match: fizzy, toppy guitar, vocals a little fuzzy around the edges, and it's all over in two minutes and twenty six seconds. What really stands out, however, is the bass: it's fat, rude and well up in the mix, and really stonks along, giving what may otherwise be a rather ordinary effort a real groove.Subjectively, it's not bad.

Equally subjectively, 'More to Life than Peach' has some real swagger, and the guitar break in the middle is quite a wig out. Old-school cool.
