FIVE CROWN
Magnificent 3 a.m. (Populuxe)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

A San Diego trio who have supported Radiohead, Oasis, Blur, and the Cranberries, etc., release their ? cd. What do they sound like? Not immensely far removed from the dirty indie-pop of old Soul Asylum, the Replacements, or even an early Goo Goo Dolls (they were fantastic years ago, I swear). It’s questionable why, with good songs, and a sound that belies them actually being a three-piece (they sound bigger), why haven’t they been signed yet? Maybe the drummer is possessed?
