Title: Shine a black light on your smile.
Review: That's what this album makes me think of. The playing and arrangments scream good-time rock and roll, but the poetry of Mssr. Carples would suggest otherwise. It's a mixture that resonates well with me. I hear their old drummer ain't half bad either. 12th Hour matures a few light years in mere weeks (most bands take years to develop like this), so if this is their third release, look out for Album No. 5 - it will alter your perception of the working band in the early twenty-first century. Much like Interpol, Placebo, The Strokes and the stronger bands of recent memory, this band pinches and borrows from every band they've ever loved and somehow come out with a finished product that speaks it's own truth with this new compelling language they've forged from the melodies of their childhood. To be so young and to project so far ahead - this is what keeps music interesting. If it is all just one long song, these guys are the hook.CSF2 jan 03
