Albatross - Happenstance

1. Evil Woman

2. The Seaside

3. The Runaround

4. Smoke & Mirrors

5. Evil Woman (Live At Summerfest)

Albatross released their debut EP, and with this one they show a band that has the look and feel of a bar band. They would be one you go to see once a week and have a bar night at a certain bar. They do have a good rock sound, and they could get out of that hole they are in, with a little bit of coaching and direction, but as of right now, that's how they are. These guys could turn into a decent touring band with some evolution.

Black Stone are definitely a house band. They are one that plays  the same venue every week, and you go out to see them only to have a good time for free. You can tell that when you listen to this album. I would not say they are bad, but they just have that older, not in touch with what is going to get them further in their career. With that said, you should still make your own opinion about them.
