New Vibrations - Steve Kimock Band - EP

By Andrew Stewart | September 12, 2003

The Steve Kimock Band's latest cd is another addition to the mass of "jamband horseshit." The band, led by innovative guitarist Steve Kimock has potential but has yet to find a unique sound.

"Africa," the first track, offers jammy guitar licks over a reggae backdrop.

The song's sunny disposition, nice at first,becomes mind-numbing by the twelfth minute.

The CD drifts from the typical with "Thing One," a funky guitar driven groove, and "Bronx Experiment."

The band finishes with two jams, saved only by Kimock's guitar playing ability.

A band like SKB though fun live, falter off the stage.

The band relies on visual experience, the concert atmosphere, and most importantly clouds of THC-laden smoke which can make any music enjoyable.
