Ugly Winner – “Minutes, Years & Never” – [Side With Us Records]

This band out of San Jose grows on you. This CD starts out with intense guitars and then relaxes a bit into a more upbeat expression with percussion, tambourine, shakers, and even a trumpet joining the guitars and bass. Each song features males vocals. Check out 2, 5, and 7 for the peppier rock, and 4 and 9 for more mellow approaches to the music. Enjoy.
