I enjoyed the band’s second and third releases, but their third, The Red, White & Black, was a bit of a disappointment. @ the Barfly draws heavily from RW&B.
In place of the gloriously raucous lo-fi soul-punk of Let it Blast and/or Grand Fury, In the Light of the Sun is a mannered, almost mellow classic R&B sound.
Heavyhitters Tim Kerr (Lord High Fixers, Poison 13, The Big Boys, Monkeywrench, etc.) and Lisa Kekaula (of The Bellrays) and grind out some soul groove.
