Rating: 6.5 rocky relationships out of 10
Even though Rob Crow isn’t in this band, somehow listening to Two Guys makes me think of him. Maybe it’s because the gents who make up the band, Cameron and Ryan Jones, have played in some of his hundreds of bands over the years. And whether it’s a matter of these dudes influencing Crow, or vice versa, there are definitely plenty of similarities to the sound. Two Guy’s are most reminiscent of Heavy Vegetable and Thingy (which Cameron played in), performing pop songs run through the angular, off-kilter rhythms like you might find in math-rock bands like Don Caballero or Dilute. Like most of Absolutely Kosher’s releases, this record is a great listen, and fans of Thingy or Heavy Vegetable won’t be disappointed.
