Classic Case - Dress To Depress

If you love modern rock radio, if your ideal music festival lists Puddle of Mudd, Hoobastank, and/or Incubus, etc., then here is a treat for you. Classic Case has all the elements required for a smooth radio takeover including, but not limited to: Thick guitars, lush production, predictably catchy songs, a thesaurus, in-tune singing, tours supporting popular acts, and experience in previous bands. This could be your chance to love them before they got big. Located just above the median of the musical bell curve, Classic Case is more listenable than most modern rock found on the dial, which is to their credit. For an occasional listen, that works out, but the luster quickly fades. Boredom creeps in. Love has its price. Ever see the movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation? The scene where the glistening turkey is cut only to reveal it has been cooked too long and is dried out and disappointing? The only missing similarity is the Randy Quaid hilarity. Classic Case may not be in quite such dire straits with Dress To Depress - they easily stand above their ‘Puddle’ peers. Just have a glass of water standing ready and be prepared to do some intermittent chewing when they show up on the airwaves near you. [www.classiccase.net]
