There’s nothing particularly new going on here with The Stereotypes; very much along the lines of many of the new breed of poppy-garage rockers like the Von Bondies or the White Stripes or whoever. Yet, I find this release extremely easy on the ears and not a bad listen at all. I’m thinking this is mostly due to two reasons: first, the songs are catchy, in a very Spoon or Exploding Hearts-like way; second, singer John Finkbiner’s voice has this great ear-catching quality, very pleasant to listen to. What’s more, the band keeps it short and sweet with this release, never giving you the chance to get bored with them (more bands could take a lesson from this – a lot of the time, less is more).
