Good Times Crisis Band - Select a Gather Point Review
by Dan MacIntosh

.
Before listening to this CD, first cross out the words "Good" and "Times" in the band's name on your CD booklet. Then write out "CRISIS" and "BAND" in all caps. That's because Select a Gather Point is the sound of a world in travail. Bill Corsello plays guitar and handles lead vocals, backed by David Hobizal on drums and Steven Mullins on bass. The sound this trio creates might be called angular by some, although I've never quite figured out exactly what that term means. More descriptively, this is herky-jerky rock where melodies come with jagged edges and rhythms dart around and make it nearly impossible to dance.

These are seemingly intellectual musical exercises, although I can't claim to be smart enough to fully understand them. One titled "Luddites" contains the following opening line: "I'm tooling for an on-off switch, put the rains on the psycho-shifter." I'm not sure what Corsello is so worried about. It sure seems important, though.

Whatever it's all about, Select a Gather Point is definitely a dude's CD. There isn't a love song in the bunch � unless some of these brainy rants are actually cleverly disguised sonnets. If these are actually romantic poems � albeit without all the hearts and flowers � that's news to me.

Calling all young, nerdy dudes! The Good Times Crisis Band is singing your twisted song.
