Crack & The Light (Coll)

CMON CMON didn't intend to make an album, never mind release it. Why? Because the Belgian trio has been here before, two decades ago as college students. Reformed for fun rather than fame, with a new name and different aims, but as much love of harmony-soaked, melodic rock as ever, their plan to put the music first is already paying dividends. On board for CMON CMON's first EP and yet-to-be titled debut album are legendary manager Stephen Budd (Tony Visconti, Gang Of Four, Heaven 17, The Magic Numbers) and Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling producer Alex Newport (Death Cab For Cutie, Bloc Party, Frank Turner). One listen to the band's addictive, dreamy, storytelling songs shows why.Joyous, jangly lead single The Summers We Missed, with it's sumptuous harmonies and debt to early Lemonheads and, captures both the laid-back spirit of CMON CMON and their tales of life experience as opposed to first love. Second single is Say What It Means, another jangly rocker.
