Mann's World

If you've read this blog you know I've been raving lately about The Greatest Hits, a band that really has improved dramatically since the first time I saw them years ago. Back then they had potential, with classic pop guitar melodies, roughed up with sludgy fuzz, and heartfelt lyrics spat out by the gravel-voiced Jeramy Lowe. Now their musical chops have caught up to their ideas. Not only do they put on a good show, they've made a really tight CD. Each of the CD's seven songs is well-crafted with the jangly "For My Health" and winsome, Superchunk-ish "Out of Touch" being the stand-outs. You can hear "Out of Touch" for yourself on the band's Myspace page.
