Mixerr Album Reviews #149

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the stones throw ep. Stones Throw is a rock band from Austin, TX. This EP was self-released in 1998. It only has 3 songs.

Anyway… on with the album. This EP was recorded in a home studio. Jon Sheppard did the engineering. Damon Alexander did the drums. Dustin Tanner is on this EP too. He's well known underground musician in Austin. Stones Throw kind of reminds me of the early P.O.D! A very dark mood for this album cover.

I know some music collectors might think about the front cover and probably think that this EP is a cheap CD-R bootleg when it's really not. Well don't judge a book by its cover as this is very common for indie artists and indie labels to do. A lot rock artists do this very often. For example, the promotional copies for this EP were burned onto a gold CD-R. Again this is very common for indie musicians.

The first song is Rooftop. Think about hanging out on the rooftop at night playing the guitar under the stars at night. Except there's no campfire, but that would be very cool if there was one. I love the guitar playing skills used on this song. Believe In Love is obviously a love song. So I won't get into that. I'm kind of tired of love songs anyway.

The last song is How Could You is about betrayal. Think about it this way! A woman cheats on another man even though she has a boyfriend. The boyfriend thought he could trust the girlfriend. Girlfriend betrayed his trust. She didn't keep her word. The boyfriend doesn't know what to do. So he finds another girlfriend to date at the end of the final song.

The album was good and better than OK. I know this EP is only 3 songs.
I rate this EP, stones throw ep, 4 1|2/5****(.
