The Sugi Tap...EP

Remember EVE6?

They were my favorite band since I was eight years old, and needless to say I was heartbroken when they broke up. John, the guitarist left and created another band, whereas Max (vox) and Tony (drums) stuck together and created The Sugi Tap. Don't ask about the name, I have no idea what it means, but apparently its pronounced SUE-GEE (as in geese) Tap. Their EP was just released through SNOCAP music, an online music store. I bought it as soon as it was released.

The Sugi Tap EP has six songs on it
Little Tiny Everything
BOLD
Pick Up the Pieces
Red & Black
Mr. Bones
Good Associate

Little Tiny Everything is definitely my favorite track its incredibly catchy and even though parts of the lyrics are a little corny, Max is an amazing writer. In Pick Up the Pieces, Max's poetic ability shines through.

"Blessed by your genetics.
You possess a certain aesthetic charm.
But somethings disconnected.
And you're quite capable of causing harm.
Your malice is volcanic.
Your insecurity...titanic.
Your mood is always manic, and I do suppose.
When you hear this song you'll have a tantrum."

His ability to intertwine pretty poetic words into an angst-y song blows my mind. Max has always been quite the wordsmith.

I'm so glad that Max and Tony will continue to make music, I grew up to their music and not once was able to see them live, even when I won free tickets off of the radio (I was too young, they were playing at a club) so now that they are back in action, I'm hoping to catch them live.

Overall I highly recommend this EP to anyone who liked EVE6 or just likes alternative acoustic rock. It's cheap, only 5 bucks and can be purchased directly thorough their myspace or at SNOCAP.com.
