There’s a hint of twang to this Ohio pop band known as SoutheastEngine, and I like it. My first reaction was the same as seemingly most everyone else – a little reminiscent of Wilco, in their blending of Americana roots-rock and pop…especially the Wilco from the "Being There" and "Summerteeth" years. Wilco is one of my very favorite bands, and I don’t mean to insinuate that Southeast Engine are even in their category really, but this is a very good start by these Mid-westerners. You could also probably drag some of the more recent material by the Drive-By Truckers into the comparison, especially on the mellower numbers. The bottom line is this is just some straight-forward rock music for regular folk – no pretensions, just good songs.
