Private Lives
Salt Of The Earth
Montreal-based group Private Lives releases an album that swerves through a bumper-to-bumper sprawl of charging vocals, searing guitar lines and a bolting rhythm section that proves sheer rock'n'roll is still very much alive. Where their debut LP Hit Record was a snapshot of a band in motion, Salt of The Earth is a perfect result of the group's rapid evolution, undercutting power pop conventions and challenging itself track after track. In a time of derivative punk trends, 'Salt Of The Earth' is a refreshing take for pure pop for now people.
