Up and coming pop rockers THE COMO BROTHERS have a cool new EP out showcasing their best songs as they continue their ascent to being one of the best underground, commercially friendly acts in the country. The brothers in the name refer to bassist Matt and guitarist Andrew, both of whom share the lead vocals. There’s no telling if drummer Dorian Costanzo is related, but the three of them sound great together on the EP’s breezy, well written cuts.
“Underneath It All” has the jangly rocking goodness in a summer track. Sort of a cross between the early FOO FIGHTERS work and bands like MATTHEW SWEET, THE GIN BLOSSOMS and DEL AMICI, the heartfelt, fun song is oddly uplifting for a pop song. Great guitar work and a nice melody highlighted by the occasional harmonized vocals of the brothers really makes this song jump out from the norm of bland music one might hear on the radio. There is also a slick guitar line that just burrowed in my ear for quite a while.
“You Are My World” is a short and sweet little ditty. A funky, folk influenced love song that feels like a massive sing along will break out at any moment. A lot of bands try to pull of this type of song and fail, but not here. There is a lot of subtle magic going on in the backing tracks like hidden little gems of instrumentation, layers vocals and percussion from Costanzo that add up to good song craft.
It’s no wonder why “I Don’t Like You” is getting added at radio and is a huge mover on the bands’ Reverbnation page. In many ways it is the perfect modern pop/rock song. A touch of wry lyrics, great singing and snarky delivery really elevate the track to another level. It rocks just enough to satisfy, but definitely has “hit song written” all over it. Also, I loved the lyrical tip of the cap to Bradley Nowell of SUBLIME with a play on the famous lyrics of celebrex cheap canada “What I Got”. Again, most bands don’t have the talent and sophistication to pull this kind of stuff off.
Closing track “Can I Be Matched With You” is another sunny sounding cut, full of optimism, earnest good vibes and tasteful bass lines. Nice guitar tones are off-set with the open chords of the chorus. Andrew also throws down a brief, bluesy guitar solo proving these guys have a of ground to cover artistically in the future.
