The Working Title - About-Face

The Working Title's debut LP, About-Face, is truly a triumph and one of the most underrated albums of 2006. Released to little fanfare off of Universal Records, the band has done well opening for such up-and-coming acts as Mae and the Goo Goo Dolls. About-Face is simply indie rock at its finest, whether it be through the tight instrumentation and drumming by Ross Taylor or the unique vocal stylings of frontman Joel Hamilton, The Working Title find their niche from track one on their way to a very solid album. Standout tracks include EP carry-overs "Something She Said" and "There Is None," along with new tunes "Nothing Less Radiant," "The Crash" and "Under the Ground," which has slowly become one of my favorite songs of all time. The entire album, though, is very strong and is one that should be heard by anyone who appreciates good music. [www.theworkingtitle.com]
