This morning I heard some of the Vylet Wylde (Vylet Wylde, Violet Wild, make up your mind guys!) songs for the first time, via Steve French and the Violet Wild myspace sites.

Interesting, though I guess not suprisingly from the call I got from their first show a few weeks ago, there is a lot of Mink Rebellion repackaging going on here. Along For The Ride, Concrete Lake and Without You all being Mink Rebellion songs. The Mink Rebellion songs will easily remain my favorites. The Vylet Wylde version of Along For The Ride doesn't have anything on the original. Still, I did think it's pretty cool hearing another version of the song. Similarly, Concrete Lake isn't as good as the original. It's not bad, and still totally worth having a different version, but Without You I can't comment on, as I've never heard the original. Though Katie found a copy of the 2004 EP it's on at Zia last week (score!), so hopefully soon I will be able to compare.

Chemicals And Water, which as far as I can tell is a new song, is awesome. Like it a lot. Definately has that Mink feel, despite that production wise it sounds like the rest of the Vylet Wylde stuff.

I don't particularly have an opinion on Even If Your Light Is Fading, though it's certainly not bad!

Kinda an interesting band for Josh Kennedy to be in - the songs are top notch, don't get me wrong, but I can't help but think that Mr. Big Guitar is somewhat wasted. Just in that thus far they don't sound that big guitar heavy, and Josh really should be in a band that is.
Now Playing: Vylett Wylde - Along For The Ride.
