Of
Note: ‘Hit Me’ by Cold Fronts
Do you
remember the legend of the actress who was discovered sitting at the counter of
a soda fountain?
Well, the
members of Cold Fronts can certainly relate.
Claiming
Philadelphia as their home (by way of York), drummer Alex Smith and
songwriter/lead singer Craig Almquist anchor the group. They were discovered while giving a free
concert on the sidewalk by hot dog stand by none other than Seymour Stein
(co-founder of Sire and a vice president at Warner Bros.). Stein simply listened for a bit and then
walked up and asked the group for a CD.
The
rest, as they say, is history.
Let’s
hope that is not true for the future of this sharp sound band because ‘Hit Me’
is a super infectious, compact bit of pop magic.
One
never grows immune to the potency of seventies-inspired, guitar-driven pop – the kind so clearly
evident here. The moment that chorus
lands, I find myself wanting to bop around the room like an energetic teen.
The
band released their E.P. ‘Forever’ back in November 2014 on Sire Records

It is infectious... Let's hope their label supports them properly to get them heard.
BTW - How are you doing Upton? Hope things are better.
