CHARGES – EP 1 – We Own This Town

I’m cheating a little bit here but bear with me. CHARGES is the latest undertaking from Jay Leo Phillips, whom you may remember from Apollo Up! and his time in Forget Cassettes. This EP is an incredibly enjoyable dose of hypercharged rock influenced equally by the likes of Elvis Costello, Faraquet and something heavier but still appealing to that catchy pop portion of your brain. So, how is this cheating? Technically it was released while Phillips was living in Heidelberg, Germany. Not exactly Nashville, TN but given that he was a staple of the scene before he left and will likely play shows again in some capacity I’m giving myself a pass.
