Review: The Federalists - The Federalists
Posted on 13 April 2008 | 2 Comments
The Federalist Party was founded by Alexander Hamilton in about 1792 and opposed the Democratic-Republican Party (confusing, huh?) during the 1800’s. Their political force (however) was short-lived and The Federalists fielded their last presidential candidate (Rufus King) in 1816 and were all but gone but they 1820’s. Not that the above history has anything to do with the well-conceived but basically straightforward and uncomplicated love songs of the Bay Area band The Federalists, but I thought it was worth mentioning. The band’s smart and upbeat indie-rock touches on synth-pop, rootsy-garage rock, and much of what lies in-between. Say Hi To Your Mom vs. Gin Blossoms vs. The Strokes might be a good approximation of what the new self-titled album from The Federalists sounds like. Nothing too groundbreaking or exciting, but with enough easy melodies and instrumental variation to satisfy even those most adamantly opposed to the War of 1812.
