Midway/ "Poole Hall Sessions" (Midway Music) ****

Midway is a band that invokes memories of a thousand other bands with a
classic power pop sound. Midway's "Poole Hall Sessions" features catchy
songs, good harmonies, jangly guitars, and everything else needed to
produce good rock n' roll music. The lead track, "Anne Marie," features a
nice guitar hook with a sing-along chorus and a moving bassline that holds
it all together and starts the album off with a high point. Upon further
review, this five song EP has no throwaway numbers--each one is catchy
enough to stick in your mind immediately. "Get Out of My Way" is another
song you'll find insidiously catchy. The music is produced well, the
guitars ring out over the rhythm section, and the lyrics are easily picked
up, not too heavy but with more substance than you might expect from the
genre. http://www.midwaymusic.com. --M.R. Jones
