You Asked For It: The Plump Tones

Band: The Plump Tones, a Prog-leaning Classic rock type band from Chandler.
Record: Brown Chicken Brown Cow album
Basics: The Plump Tones sound like what they look like: A gang o' weekend warriors playing some funky, often-instrumental jams. They're competent but not fully gelled and seem more interested in rocking out than rocking.
Worst Song: I'm not really fond of "Astronaut" which is a little too Rush-y for my taste. The following song "Amplitude," showcases the band at it's show-boating worst, playing a bunch of big solos that don't really seem to have any context.
Suggested Changes: More rocking, less rocking out. Like a lot of weekend warrior types they need to worry more about the quality of their songs and less about their musicianship.
Grade: C-
