Now what is this? a crappy album cover and the EP opens with a cover of Tommy Tutone's classic hit "867-5309". Woah, I was expecting the worst of the worst. But never judge the book by it's cover as the saying goes and it goes for album covers as well, the Chicago based Prozac Daisies doesn't have the best band name on Earth but they're really good performers and also interesting songwriters.
Their new EP "Krazzy" contains 4 original songs and a rocking cover of "867-5309", their sound can be described as King's X in a Eleanor Rigby mood mainly because of Michelle Tess Oberlin that is the band's cellist. Yeah, I kinda like this alternative hard rock with Cello all over. Their version of the Tommy Tutone hit is very good and the following "Khalifornia" shows the band are strong songwriters as well, the 3rd track "Don't give up on me" is laid back and melodic and fits nicely into the mix of the hard rocking stuff. The 4th track "Superstitions" is more funky and groovy, once again my thoughts go to King's X just like the last track "Krazzy" where the verse is stronger than the chorus. Best track is "Khalifornia". Thumbs up!
