I said almost a year ago that when these boys released their first CD, it would be a hit. This week The Expressionist Magazine got a first hand taste at their thirteen track, self-titled album Holes and Hearts for review, and a hit is what I see.
This album first and foremost is masterfully produced; the tracks are laid out with precision in the mixing which helps to accent the true talent these boys have. I give kudos to Mongrol Records for their work in this venture.
Holes and Hearts is full of head thrashing hits, with hard guitar riffs from Casey whose talent surpasses his age. After listening to this album I swore he had been playing for 20 years, but since he’s only 13, that is truly impossible. I can feel his passion for his rock and I know he truly believes in his music, which is something I think artists have lost over the years. I praise Casey for bringing it back. The album contains the wicked voice of Riley, who like his brother, puts his heart and soul into each track and his love for music and rock truly ring out with each word he sings. Again, he sounds far older than he actually is at only eleven years old. Riley’s charismatic charm and energetic performances will capture you from the moment you listen to him sing, be it live or on this CD.
There isn’t one track on this album I don’t like; it’s refreshing to get a CD that I actually love listening to all the songs on and I don’t want to change to another track. When all is said and done, these boys just rock, and I think America and the world will fall in love with these pint-sized rockers. Watch out world, Holes and Hearts are here to stay! I can’t see this album not going platinum if it’s properly marketed. I give this CD five out of five stars and can’t wait to see a track hit #1 in the Billboard charts soon.
