Bessy\'s album not all that dressy

Surf rock is dead, and listening to Dressy Bessy's The California EP made that fact painfully clear. Not to mock these people personally, who all may be talented in their own special way, but they turned out an EP that contains four tracks of poor-quality surf rock and one track that does not fit into any genre, it's just bad.\nSurf rock is supposed to inspire listeners to make a mad dash to the nearest coastline, but with The California EP, listeners will sprint to the highest peak possible. In fact this album's only saving grace is that the longest song is just over three and a half minutes.\nThe songs are overtly simple and repetitive. There's nothing along the lines of ingenuity on this album. The guitars and drums are far too predictable and dull, shifting tempos right on cue and using a few chords as possible on each track.\nBut it seems that surf rock is the only thing these guys are capable of. The final track, "In The Morning," is a percussion track that still contains the annoying pop sounds of every other track. Not only does it have a poor beat, but also the song as a whole is of overall poor quality.\nNot to mention that the vocals are just plain poor. Tammy Ealon has a good voice, but often times she reaches for notes way out of her vocal range. "You look like you've seen some better days before you became this way, I feel better than I did yesterday," she sings on "Some Better Days." Really, it doesn't get any more blatant, poppy and just plain absurd than that.\nIn fact, The California EP sounds surprisingly like every Beach Boys album ever made, only not as good. The Dressy Bessy foursome may have some musical talent, but it certainly doesn't show on this album. Maybe they should take another trip back to the drawing board.
