Cordova - Runaway Summer

.
Oliver Charity's vocals prove right from the get-go, with the track "Hiding," that this man has listened to his share of Seattle grunge. However, Cordova is from Las Cruces, New Mexico, which is a long, long way from Washington. No matter where they're from, though, Cordova create some rock & rolling.

One called "Summer," speaks to wanderlust with the line, "Let's run away for the summer." "Trigger Happy" opens with the best lyrical couplet on the album, though: "You open up your mouth/And words came flying out." It's an angry song about a one difficult customer.

The band's lyrics prove they're far more than just a group that enjoys rocking hard. They're also obviously smart, which is why these songs read just as good as they sound. At only four songs, this EP is just not long enough. These guys obviously have a strong full-length in 'em. Nevertheless, this taste should hold you over - but not for long.
