FULL
SERVICE - The Dig (www.fullservicemusic.com)
Austin, TX’s Full Service has that
pivotal, love-'em-or-leave-'em factor in their
music. At times they play peppy, post-mod
pop that has some teeth to it ("Hiho,"
"Blueberry Farm," "Hotter in
the House"), but then they try to be
a little like, "Punk Goes Crunk."
On "Tasteless Gravy" they demonstrate
their love of Red Hot Chili Peppers' funk
and flair, but it just doesn't come across
as original. "Don't Deny" or "Bombs
Killed My Father" are better examples
of what Full Service are capable of, with
the splintered mojo of 311, or Rage Against
The Machine. They mix dominant percussion
with sharp, melodic vocals creating tracks
with abundant personality, and enormous rhythmic
cadence. After all is said and done, you're
gonna love 'em! - Phil Rainone
