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.
