Greetings From Georgia sound like The View. A lot. I don’t think it’s deliberate, just one of those unfortunate coincidences. But the vocals have that similar kind of accent and the jangling guitars are quite close too. It doesn’t make GFG a bad band, far from it as they’re quite good at what they do, but it sadly taints my listening a little as I hate The View. Oh well…
This six-track EP is good at what it does, although what it does sometimes comes across as a little forced and borrowed. The synthy parts which kick off the opening track are completely unnecessary and make no difference to the rest of the song, while I swear there are pan pipes in ‘A Man On His Own’, unless my mind is playing tricks on me. The band do have a knack for writing a catchy chorus, so kudos for that, but there’s something here I just don’t like all that much. And while I can’t fault them really, I guess it’s just this reviewer’s individual taste which drops this from a 7 to a 6 out of 10. Check them out, they’re not half bad!
