I came across Mr. Completely on the IAC website, they’re a rock band from Campbell River in British Columbia, Canada. They’re a four piece independent rock band, and rock they most certainly do. I’ve said before on here that it always amazes me that some of these bands can produce such great music and yet never get into the mainstream. As soon as I heard Rich Man, Poor Man it got my attention… out and out rock at it’s best, and played just how I like to hear it. These guys can play.. they’re very good musicians.
I’d have this music in the desert island collection for sure, I’ve been listening to music long enough to know a great song when I hear one, this is a great song. It’s from their album called “Twice on Sunday”… an album which, in my opinion, doesn’t have a single bad track on it.. there are twelve, and that’s not something you can say about a lot of albums. I’ve paid good money for albums by mainstream bands, many times, and been disappointed with some of the stuff on them.. but I wouldn’t be able to say that about Twice on Sunday.
To enable you to listen to the song for yourself I’ll have to link you to the IAC page where it’s hosted. Once there just click the play button and it’ll launch through the IAC player. Here it is RICH MAN, POOR MAN … do yourself a favour and take the time to listen to it, if you like rock music you’ll love it. In fact I’ll go a step further and give you a link to their Soundclick page and you can listen to the whole album, it’s here, same again, click the play buttons to launch the player.
Music for my desert island hard drive?.. most definately. I’ve never heard of Campbell River before, all I know is that it’s a hell of a long way from where I’m sat at the moment. And I don’t suppose they’ll think that there’s a guy listening to their music somewhere in the UK.. but there is, I listen to it often and I love it. So click the link and join me.. it’s brilliant.
