Taking lessons from Jon Spencer on the use of fuzzbox guitar toward indie-rock ends, this Padova outlet ends up sounding something like the Hives if those boys dressed themselves. Demand makes catchy and toothsome retro redux, but who doesn't? Point is, there's an honest guitar-punk energy here absent in most of the costumed poseurs.
"By Popular Demand"... 4 guys wearing red T-shirt. 4 guys making plain sounds. 4 guys playing indie rock (& roll). Is it enough?
