The Wooden Mover's Association,
AtwoodThere was a time when Atwood sounded like a run-of-the-mill emo band; the type of The OC-influenced group that played the same type of lo-fi indie-rock as everyone else. While there are still hints of a more familiar sound, you can't say Atwood are anything other than a really good, solid band in their own right. This three-tracker doesn't pull up trees in terms of re-writing genre rulebooks but it has natty hooks, some sweet guitar riffs and a good vocalist who knows his limitations. 'Game On' is a really good tune, there's no denying it, and it sums up a band who are getting better with every self-release. Now they've learned to write a chorus it'll be interesting to see where they go next.
