Summer Rose: Big Mouth - Indie Music Review

At first listen SummerRose comes off as a potty-mouthed Veruca Salt on acid, especially on the hyper-fast opening track, "Time Bomb." Although, her mix of attacking, no-holds-barred lyrics and aggressive rocking lends to get the get-out-of-my-face-or-I'll-tell-you-off attitude that is strung through many of the songs on the aptly titled album "Big Mouth." This is best screamed out on "Liar," which can simply be explained as what choice words every woman would want to have with a man in the first minutes she caught him cheating.
However SummerRose is anything but one-dimensional. "Big Mouth" not only breathes with rock, but a few of the tunes are upbeat enough to be considered catchy club tracks. "Disco Nympho" sticks in your head and could be a hit if it were out on the scene right now.
SummerRose though has room to grow in how the songs are carried out and finished, as many explode to start but later lack any driving force to maintain any attention to their endings. The track, "Downtown," has a memorable melody and a powerful bridge, but the last quarter of the song is simply a repetition of the chorus. If SummerRose implemented more prominent instrumental or even her own vocal solos with varying sounds, the endings of her songs would match the intensity she has at the beginning.
SummerRose sounds established and comfortable in her shoes and certainly has no qualms about how she gets her message across. The ability to blend her hard-rocking tracks with the punky club beats would serve a rowdy crowd and any audience that needs to sing out when they're on edge.
