GARY GACH AND THE BANNED

“I don’t wanna get a job and go to school,” Gary Gach’s lyrics ring through. Well, Gary, you probably should. Gary Gach and The Banned’s album Four On The Floor should be left on the floor. Gach’s voice is throaty and out of key. The lyrics are cliché and uninventive, while the musical quality is nonexistent. When they call themselves multi-genre, they are a little bit off; I’m not sure they have a genre. Walls, a soft rock tune, was almost mediocre until the misplaced screaming in the middle turned the song awkward. Alright, Alright, Okay, Okay extended a bit beyond second rate with a thumpin’ drum beat and a decent guitar solo, but who wants second rate? It’s a shame because yes, there are slivers of talent shining through. But, unfortunately not enough to complete a song, let alone an album.
