The Tryout: The Cast of Cheers

Couldn't find a great band for this week so I chose this week's Tryout on name alone. You have to love the name "The Cast of Cheers" although it doesn't make life easier for the band in terms of Google and legally since I have to imagine that the people behind the show Cheers won't be thrilled about it. As for the music, I loved the opening of first song "Family" but then it didn't really go anywhere. The others songs are kind of similar; "Derp" has a great riff and build up but it doesn't ever really build to anything. It kind of reminds me of early TV on the Radio (meets Bloc Party?). That being said, I think these guys could be a blast to see live and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for their full record when it finally drops.
