Greco has
been good listening this week.
Greco is a
band of mostly brothers from Athens, Georgia. Their Facebook page only lists
four of them - Sebastian, Josh, Zack, and Gabriel - but in recent videos they
include oldest Greco brother Johann. This seems to be a band in transition. In
fact, their Soundcloud proclaims...
"Though
GRECO has spent years saturated in music and performance, it is the release of
their latest EP – ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT - that will mark their true musical
statement to the world."
It is a
musical statement of rock that pulls in multiple influences. There are things
that remind me of garage rock, Southern rock, and even some psychedelic, but
"All My Life" starts with a synth groove that would not be out of
place in pop (back when pop wasn't a pejorative). That track should definitely
be checked out, as well as the heartfelt "If I Could See".
Part of
that transition should involve running social media more tightly. I found at
least three broken links to ReverbNation, and then once I found the correct
page via Search there was no music listed. The Youtube channel could be better
organized too, though I hope the "In the Bathroom w/Greco" series
continues.
There is
work for them to do, and I hope they do it. They have a good sound, and their
efforts to make it more available to more people should be beneficial.
