Calicocat – Soup du Jour – We Own This Town

Calicocat has multiple things going for it that I find appealing. 1) The cat reference that is their name. I am, admittedly, a sucker for such things. When you spend as much time on the Internet as I do, you kinda have to be. 2) Straightahead rock that finds that balance between fist-pumping energy and memorable catchiness isn’t easy but they nail it consistently. 3) Matt Robinson’s vocals have a languid nature to them that stirs up a feeling of genuine emoting – it’s a believable melancholy and I appreciate that. Soup Du Jour fits within these parameters and, therefore, I recommend it to you. Plus, it’s free. What have you got to lose?
