Count To TenRelease info:1996—TriStar/Sony—6692-36831-2 Availability:Wide in U.S. Ecto priority:Recommended for indie-rock fans Group members:Heidi Phillips—vocals, guitar Produced by:A.P. Alexakis Comments:Great indie rock to play loud! (Neile) Safe Ride HomeRelease info:1999—Sony/Columbia Availability:Wide Ecto priority:For pop/punk fans Group members and guest artists:Billy Joe Johnson—drums Produced by:Doug McBride Comments:The Missouri trio gets their Columbia Records debut with almost too typical pop/punk. The music hits its stride when the vocal harmonies are consistent with the riffhooks like in "How Would You Know" and "World Crash." Vocals from Heidi Phillips are occasionally (and purposely) dry and low-key but works in songs like the loner anthem "Empty Room." (thecritics@earthlink.net) ![]() |
