Yesterday morning, I was catching up on my rcrdlbl downloads when I came across "Grapevine Valentine" by Kingsfoil. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been pointed out, but it seems the drummer is none other than Frankie Muniz. I immediately thought of this:
But at the same time, I had to give Kingsfoil a fair chance. After all, if he's on drums, then I don't have to listen to his squeaky little voice. I actually made my sister listen to "Grapevine Valentine" before I did, and when she gave it the all-clear, I took the plunge.
What did I find? I really like lead Jordan Davis' vocals, and the addition of the keyboard gave it a nice airy feel. My only issue is that it sounds a little Grey's-Anatomy-closer, but "Grapevine Valentine" is fine for listening to on the way to school. It's not for moshing and it's not going to satisfy my need for gangster rap; it has a specific way to approach. You listen, and you enjoy. It's that simple. Indie's never been sweeter. After a few more listens, you'll completely forget about the melancholy life is unfair.
