The Deep Vibration has been generating a lot of buzz particularly for their live performance. I suspect that no band really wants to hear: "They remind me of..."
(To my mind, it's always unfair to do that to a good band.) But at least The Deep Vibration can take comfort in the fact that the comparisons have been quite lofty - Wilco, Neil Young, Springsteen, My Morning Jacket... Oh my!
One of my favorite quotes was from the Chicago Reader:
"Front man Matt Campbell mixes the high-pitched cry of Neil Young, the androgynous whine of Tom Verlaine, and the sweet lyricism of Gram Parsons, and the chugging, intertwined guitars give the music an appealing post-Stones strut - all of which is a long way of saying The Deep Vibration reminds me of Uncle Tupelo."
This made me chuckle. You? ... So when I learned that they were going to be making a stop at one of my favorite downtown Madison venues - The Frequency, I got interested! |
