la la, i found this little review in Chart magazine today, on page 56. sombody might be interested.
<b>Pedestrian</b> <i>Ghostly Life</i> (Headwreckords)
This band chose a dangerous name. If they rock, it's irony. But if they suck, they doom themselves to a lifetime of bad headlines from rock writers who will take advantage of an easy target because, you know, we're lazy like that. Fortunately, this Los Angeles-based rock outfit stay mostly on the ironic side with a complex, interesting album of spacey-sounding songs that are loud and demanding of the listener's time. Lead singer-songwriter Joel Shearer worked as a guitarist for both Alanis Morissette's and Damien Rice's touring bands before venturing out on his own. Pedestrian toy with extremes and some songs veer dramatically between gentle and ear-piercing. Side note: they count Raine Maida as a friend and supporter, so take that for what you will. CCC1/2
(i've never liked the way Chart reviews things.)
