The
Great Affairs are back in business with the follow-up to 2018’s “Ten & 2”. The
skill on display here is that they successfully pull all the disparate threads of
rock n’ roll together and make it so cohesive. Like a compilation album, but all by one
fantastic band, “Everybody Moves, Nobody Gets Hurt” is basically the sound of
Denny Smith dusting off his songbook – and it is a real diamond of a thing. “Right from gleeful opener ‘I’m Alright’, taking
as it does the idea that Cheap Trick might jam on some Georgia Satellites tunes
as its starting point, this a journey through rock n’ roll. But don’t think this is going to be a
template for the album. Instead, the
record does its thing, by begging, borrowing, stealing and rocking any way it
damn well pleases. ‘Believe In Ghosts’, a mid paced rocker, would make the
likes of Gin Blossoms blush. ‘Lyvia’ is
an arena filler - think Stereophonics in their ‘Dakota’ period, or ‘High On Rose’
which is so good it might be better than the opener – a 70’s sounding thing,
but not retro, and crackling with energy.
‘In The Wreckage’ would, if it was a Goo Goo Dolls song, see that band polishing
another gold disc. It’s staggering how
much ground they cover here. ‘Light
Years’ is a glam infused thing. ‘Three Leaf Clover’ is a catchy slice of airy Summertime,
that has me longing for The Trews, while the day a song like ‘Satellite’ can’t
make the world better is the day we should all draw the curtains. From the same dirt roads as Petty, but
sounding like everything and nothing all at once, this is music for and by
people that just love it.” – MaximumVolumeMusic.com “The
Great Affairs are a rock ‘n’ roll band. You get it all: Classic Rock, Power
Pop, Roots Rock, Southern Rock…when you think you are hearing Cheap Trick,
The J. Geils Band, The Bottle Rockets and Bad Company at the same time, you are
probably a good listener.”- Patrick Donders/Sweet Sweet Music GREAT!!
