From Grip #14 Charlottesville, VA by Tab Hutchins April 1999 http://www.virginiamusicflash.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Midway Pool Hall Sessions (CE EP available from P.O. Box 10972, Blacksbueg, Va. 24062) Blacksburg rockers Midway borrow some equipment from Poole and enlist that band's own Svengali Harry Evans to produce an EP for 'em. The results are pleasant and tuneful pop-rock - not unlike Poole's own brand of Mid-Atlantic ravin' up - with rigning hooks and some melodic vocal arrangements. Like the bubblegum dispenser on the front cover, it's chewy but, unfortunately the flavor doesn't last long enought. The slackers should get Poole to help 'em do a long-player next. And be nice enough to pay a rental and production fee or something too. - T.H.
