ROSEMARY the angels' share A deliberate post-Bleach Nirvana sound rings throughout ROSEMARY’s The Angels’ share, a French band whose scruffy facial hair and press kit all scream "Grunge !" And 20 years later the indecisive sound of angst is still hanging around on this 4-song EP, swapping between genteel passages of toy guitar (Not really happy) and the urgent anxiety we’ve been force-fed for so long (Not really happy again). Tracks such as My favorite one and Before it hurts aren’t bad at all, just a little far from original, however the closing acoustic version of Half a girl was a bit sappy and ended the album on a weak note. If you’re looking for French punk along the lines of The Splash 4 or The Hatepinks, The angels’ share may not do it for you. Then again, it may be just the thing. I have to admit, the second time I played this, the better I liked it. Smells like unwashed teen groupie ! PANISCUS REVUE http://home.earthlink.net/~newpanaudio
