Dave Rave Group

By Peter Hemminger

By the end of the first track, I was willing to write the Dave Rave Group off as a bar band 15 years past its prime. There’s almost no energy, just a sense that “we should rock, so I guess we’re rocking.”


By the end of the second track, I was willing to forgive them. "Madeleine Says" is a catchy, up-beat number that really made me want to like the disc. By track 10, I couldn’t take it anymore and had to turn the damn thing off. Dull, dull, dull. All it left me with was the overwhelming feeling that I’d already seen them, or heard them in a bar somewhere, and then walked out.
