Album Notes The Takeover UK: Nic Snyder (vocals, guitar, piano); Mark Solomich (vocals, guitar, Fender Rhodes piano); Adam Shash (vocals, glockenspiel, bass instrument); Josh Sickels (drums). Audio Mixer: Mike Caffrey. Pittsburgh-based The Takeover UK deliver an album's worth of garage-ey power-pop filled with catchy choruses and driving, Strokes-like guitars. True to its anglophile name, the group tops off the sound with lead singer Nick Snyder's snarling early British punk-style vocals. "Ah La La" is definied by its sing-songy chorus and Beatles-like "whoooo!" exclamations while the acoustic "Denise" employs country music-ish vocal harmonies and loping rhythms to evoke the spirit of Gram Parsons and the Eagles.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- [The songs] are filtered through echoes of glam-rock, Brit-pop and '70s punk with Wall Of Sound production, infectious pop hooks and an unmistakable enthusiasm. Alternative Press
