The Scaries
“Souvenir”
(Law of Inertia)
What’s really scary about this CD is how much The Scaries sound like what I want Saves the Day to sound like. Take out some of that whiny sound of Saves the Day and you’ve got The Scaries. Oh, I’m sure there are other noteworthy differences, but you don’t care. Eleven tracks go really fast, although you think they don’t ’cause they have this deep, almost Braid sound going for them. Lyric snippet’s like “It’s always fucking lonely and everything is cold and empty, I’ve never gotten over the saddest thing you said” (from “Bleached”) won’t break the pop lyric mold, but hey, everyone’s gotta be depressed sometimes. Decent four piece doing what they do well.
