Akron, Ohio is a noticeable city in the fabric of Rock and Roll. A production belt city which assembled and delivered The Cramps, Devo, Chrissie Hynde and where the girl who Llewyn Davis made pregnant but decided not to terminate, went home to.
Latest notables from this part of the world are about as far away from these forbears as you could possibly imagine, But then again as their name attests, it's always the quiet ones you need to keep an eye on.
On latest offering, last year's Long Overdue, they come across as the Mid Wests response to Teenage Fanclub pretty much pure and simple, all ringing guitars and creamy harmonies. Short on surprises perhaps, but certainly not on tunes.
